What this Blur, Sharpen & Pixelate Image Online Free Tool Does


Blur, sharpen or pixelate images online for free. Use Brush mode to blur faces, sharpen details or hide sensitive information manually in your browser. No AI, no watermark, no limits.



Sharpen/Blur the Whole Image


This mode lets you control the overall sharpness or blur of the entire image using the upper slider. When the slider is in the middle position, the image remains unchanged, exactly as you uploaded it. Move the slider toward the left to gradually blur the photo. Move the slider toward the right to increase sharpness and enhance details.



Partial Editing with 3 Brushes

  1. Blur Brush lets you blur specific areas of an image by painting over them with your mouse on desktop or your finger on a phone. When you move the Blur Brush, it blurs only the parts that you want to affect, for example someone's face. You can also blur the whole background to leave one subject sharp and in focus. This helps when editing photographs where nothing important is in the background and you want the subject to stand out. Professional photographers use this technique to push the subject forward and create a subtle 3D depth effect known as atmospheric perspective.

  2. Sharpen Brush lets you sharpen only certain areas of a photo that appear slightly soft or blurry, without sharpening the whole image. This allows you to enhance isolated details and improve important parts of a photograph while leaving the rest of the image unchanged.

  3. Pixelate Brush lets you hide sensitive or private parts of an image by painting over them with pixel blocks. This is useful when you want to hide information such as car licence plates, faces, brand logos, documents, addresses, or other personal data while keeping the rest of the photo unchanged.

Pixelate Car License Plates and Faces in Photos


In this screen recording, you can see how the license plates on car photos were pixelated with just 2 clicks in our Blur, Sharpen and Pixelate Tool. You can even do this with 1 click by using a slightly larger brush size.


The faces of people next to the car were also pixelated to protect their privacy. If you are not happy with the result, just click Undo and try again.

Blur Background Around Main Subject


In this screen recording, you can see how to blur the background around a car in a public parking lot. By blurring the buildings and surroundings, they become less sharp than the car. This way, the focus is on the car, and everything else becomes less important. This is useful when you want to enhance your subject and direct the viewer's attention to it.


For most of the background, we used a large Blur brush. Then, we reduced the brush size when blurring right next to the car for more precise work and to avoid blurring over the car itself. You can also use the Blur brush to hide license plates instead of pixelating them. Simply apply Blur brush over the numbers and letters multiple times until they become unrecognizable.
