What is the difference between blur and pixelate?

Blur creates a smooth, out-of-focus effect ideal for natural-looking privacy. Pixelate uses visible blocks for a censored TV-style look. Use Blur Image for soft hiding; use Pixelate Image when you want an obvious mosaic effect.

Can I blur only part of an image?

Yes. Add one or more square or circle regions. Only the area inside each shape is blurred; the rest of the photo stays untouched.

Is blurring photos online safe for private images?

Reels Editor processes images entirely in your browser. Your photo is not sent to our servers, which makes it suitable for sensitive or unreleased content.

What file format do I get after blurring?

Exports download as PNG to preserve quality and support transparency where applicable.

Can I blur multiple areas in one photo?

Yes. Add as many shapes as you need — for example, blur two faces and a name badge in the same image.
