Background Blur

A blurred background is the difference between a snapshot and a portrait, and it is the look every PFP, about-page photo and sponsor headshot leans on. Background Blur applies it after the fact: the foreground subject stays sharp and clear while the background is blurred hard, the way a wide-aperture lens would render it. There are no sliders — upload, run, done — and the photo keeps its aspect ratio so it drops back into whatever layout it came from.

It is built for the photos creators actually have: a phone selfie in a cluttered room, a webcam grab from a stream, a co-host photo in a busy cafe. Because the subject is separated by the model rather than a hard edge mask, hair and glasses edges stay natural. The strong blur means brand names and clutter behind you become soft shapes, which is often all a photo needs before it goes on a channel page.

Blur is a good intermediate step. Blur first, then send the result to Profile Picture Maker for a Clean professional PFP with a background that no longer fights the face; or blur, then Reframe to 3:1 for a LinkedIn banner where the soft background leaves room for text. If you want the room replaced rather than softened, use Background Changer; if you want it gone, Background Remover. A run is 4 credits at Standard.
