How it works

Blur photos without the hassle

Frame Blur helps you blur faces, backgrounds, text, and sensitive details in seconds. Use brush strokes for custom areas, shapes for clean edges, and pixelation when you need obvious censorship. It is a fast workflow for creators, teams, and anyone who needs to hide private info before sharing.

Want to edit in Canva? Frame Blur is available as an official Canva app. Prefer a standalone workflow? Open the web app and export your result right away.
