Portrait mode for any photo
Phones blur the background in portrait mode to make the subject stand out, the way a camera with a large lens does. This tool does the same afterwards, on a photo you already have: a busy street, a messy room or a crowded event becomes a soft wash of color and the eye goes straight to the person or object.
It uses the same AI model as the Background Remover. The model looks at the whole picture, separates the main subject from its surroundings and returns a mask with soft transitions, including around hair.
Natural looking blur
A simple blur would smear the subject's colors into the background and leave a glowing outline. Here the blur is built only from background pixels, so a red jacket does not leave a red halo. Areas fully hidden behind the subject are filled from the surrounding background.
Blur strength scales with the size of the photo, so the look in the preview matches the downloaded file. Edge softness blends the subject into the blur; raise it if the cutout line is visible, lower it for crisp product edges.
Good to know
The blur is even across the background. A real lens blurs distant things more than near ones, so very deep scenes can look slightly flat. Photos with one clear subject work best; with several people the model may keep only the most prominent ones sharp.
The model is about 98 MB and downloads only the first time. After that it works from your browser's storage, even without a connection.
