Blur Photo Background with AI

Give any picture the portrait-mode look: the subject stays pin-sharp while everything behind it softens into a natural depth-of-field blur that never bleeds into the edges.

Where it fits

Tailored Depth of Field for Every Scenario

  • Professional headshot before and after softening the office background.

    Portraits & LinkedIn Headshots

    A shallow, portrait-mode blur keeps the face pin-sharp and turns the office behind it into soft bokeh — the look of a fast lens, from any phone photo.

  • Leather handbag with a sharp product and softly blurred interior.

    E-Commerce & Product Photography

    A gentle blur separates the product from the table it was shot on, so it reads cleanly on a listing without the flat look of a cut-out on white.

  • Pasta dish before and after blurring the surrounding cafe table.

    Food & Lifestyle Shots

    Soften the plates, hands and clutter around the dish so the eye lands on the food first — the depth of field a food photographer dials in on purpose.

  • Creator portrait with background people and screens obscured by blur.

    Protect Your Privacy on Social Media

    Blur the room, the street or the people behind you before you post. Faces stay sharp; addresses, screens and bystanders do not.

How to Add Depth of Field to Your Image with AI

Depth-of-field prompt

Change the background of the uploaded image into the same scene with a shallow depth of field, as if shot on an 85 mm lens at f/1.8: everything behind the subject falls out of focus into soft, creamy bokeh, the blur deepening with distance and point lights becoming soft discs. Keep the scene, colors, lighting and composition unchanged. Do not modify the subject in any way. Keep the exact subject shape, color, texture, proportions, details, shadows, and perspective, tack-sharp with no halo at the edges. Only change the background.
