Like BeFunky, Canva offers many tools for designing and editing, including a photo blur tool. However, unlike BeFunky, blurring images on Canva will require you to create a free account to use this feature.

How to quickly blur photos online Picture 15

After logging into your Canva account, locate and select Upload your photo . You'll be prompted to upload your image and create a Canva design that perfectly matches the dimensions of your photo. Additionally, you can drag and drop your images on the page.

Note : At the time of writing, Canva has launched a new photo editor. However, the blur tool on the new editor is quite basic and does not yet allow you to blur specific parts of the image. If you're taken to the new editor, Canva will show the option to use the old editor when you select Edit photo . Until the new editor improves functionality, use the old editor.

Go to Edit photo in the top toolbar and find the Blur option under Tools . In case you have never used the Blur tool before, you will find it in the suggestions section or just search for it in the search bar.

Use the Auto option to blur your entire image, or select Blur to brush over the area you want to blur. You can also undo fading using the Restore option .

When you're done editing your image, tap Share , then select Download to save your design to your computer.

You can download Canva designs in several formats, including JPG, PNG, and PDF. If you decide to use a paid Canva account, you can also download your design as an SVG.

7. Blur photos with Blur Photo Editor

If you find your hands are a bit shaky when blurring images with brush strokes, then you'll love the clean lines created by Blur Photo Editor. Although the ads can be annoying, this is a great tool for blurring parts of an image because it allows you to create a selection instead of relying on the steadiness of your hand. This tool is also very simple because there are not too many editing functions.

On the home page, select Start Blur Photo Editor , then tap Choose Photo to Blur to add your photo to the editor.

Next, start making a selection by clicking on the corners of the area you want to blur. Once selected, choose whether you want blur inside or outside your selection and toggle the amount of blur you want to add. If you make a mistake, reset your selection, or if you're happy with your adjustment, download the finished image.

While Blur Photo Editor may not be the prettiest editing tool on the Internet, it is easy to use and produces professional blur images at zero cost.

8. Peko Step helps blur photos quickly

How to quickly blur photos online Picture 17

Peko Step is a free image editor that runs in your web browser. To add opacity to an image in Peko Step, start by uploading the image via the File icon at the bottom. Additionally, you can drag and drop images directly on the canvas.

Once the image is uploaded, select the area you want to blur or leave intact by dragging over the image inside the editor. Now, choose whether you want to add an ellipse or rectangular blur effect. Unlike the other tools mentioned earlier, you cannot adjust the size of the blur effect on Peko Step.

Next, choose whether you want to blur inside or outside your selection. Then select Apply to blur the area.

To download an image, right-click it on the desktop and save as usual. You can also save the image by going to File > Save Image , but this may not work in your browser.

Compared to the other tools on this list, Peko Step is not as intuitive to use, and it doesn't let you adjust the opacity level of the selection. If you want to add a little opacity to your image or want to blur the inside or outside of an ellipse, you can try this tool.

9. How to blur photos with Pixlr

Finally, we have Pixlr. While the blur feature in Pixlr may not be strong enough to hide confidential information, it is ideal for adding a blurred background to portraits or other images. But like most of the products on this list, Pixlr has many tools. To blur an image or parts of an image, you must use Pixlr's photo editing tool, Pixlr E (the link above will take you directly to the editor).

Select Open Image and upload your image. Next, select the Blur icon in the left sidebar of the editor; this can be found under the water drop icon on the left side of the screen. Then select Blur at the top and configure the blur tool to your liking using the sliders.

Start with a large brush size to fill most of your background, then switch to a smaller brush to get as close to your subject as possible. When you're done, tap File in the top left, select your preferred download format from the pop-up window, and select Save As to download the image in your chosen format.

The free version of Pixlr offers a limited number of daily saves, so you may want to explore the other tools on this list if you plan to blur parts of multiple images.
