Precision blur for perfect focus

Highlight your subject with Photoroom's Blur Tool, which does more than just adding a blur to an image. It identifies the object and person in the image with all its details using latest AI technology, before blurring the background. Streamline your workflow for different projects, from product images to professional portraits or creative projects such as photo exhibitions.

Auto blur cluttered backgrounds

A blurred backdrop creates a clean and uncluttered visual aesthetic by reducing the visual noise in the background, allowing the subject to take center stage and achieve a shallow depth of field - without the use of expensive equipment. Adding a blurred background creates a professional and visually appealing effect that helps highlight the subject, convey a sense of depth, and draw attention to important elements in the foreground.

Create professional photos

The Pro version of Photoroom also offers the possibility to use a bulk option, which allows blurring any background in batch. Especially if you have to edit multiple images, this option can save a lot of time. Depending on the needs, Photoroom also offers an API solution to blur the background, which comes with a variety of other image editing features such as cropping, adding a shadow or changing the background. Get that shallow depth of field effect for all your professional photos now!

Edit the background

Why stop at blurring? With our powerful photo editor, you can go beyond just blurring backgrounds: remove the background and edit it independently, enhance brightness, contrast, vibrancy, and more while keeping the subject untouched. Pro users can even replace backgrounds with their own photos or use our AI background generator to get unique and copy free images. Photoroom offers a wide range of templates and design elements to easily create stunning visuals with a blurred background.
