Common Use Cases
Censor Personal Info in Screenshots
Gaussian blur with radius 10-20px effectively hides text, email addresses, and API keys in screenshots. Do not use a black bar — it can be partially reversed with contrast adjustment.
Blur Faces Before Posting — Especially Children
Before sharing group photos publicly, blur faces of people who did not consent to be posted. Radius 15-25px at full strength makes identification impossible while keeping the scene context.
Also remove EXIF location data →Blur License Plates — Before Listing Cars
When selling a car online, blur the license plate to prevent plate cloning and identity theft. Use radius 12-18px centered directly over the plate area.
Background Blur — Portrait Mode Effect
Selectively blur the background around a subject to create a shallow depth-of-field portrait effect without an expensive lens. Works best with a clear separation between subject and background.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of blur is applied?
PicFix applies a Gaussian blur effect using the browser's built-in Canvas filter. The blur radius controls the intensity — higher values create a stronger, smoother blur effect.
Can I blur only a part of the image?
Currently PicFix applies blur to the entire image. For selective or area-specific blurring, you may need a desktop image editor. We may add area-specific blur in a future update.
What are common uses for image blur?
Common uses include blurring backgrounds to make text readable, censoring sensitive information (faces, license plates, personal data), creating depth-of-field effects, and adding privacy protection to shared images.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your images never leave your device, making this 100% private and secure.
