FAQ About Object Blur

Will blurring reduce image quality?+
Only the selected zones are obscured. The rest of the image keeps its visual quality based on your export settings.
Is this safe for sensitive photos?+
Yes. Processing is local-first, and if server fallback is needed, it happens automatically through our secured pipeline.
What is the maximum image size?+
Size limits depend on your browser memory and selected settings. Large files may use automatic server fallback.
Can I blur multiple images at once?+
Yes. Upload a batch, review results, and download all processed files as a ZIP archive.
Should I export lossy or lossless?+
Use lossy formats like JPG/WebP for smaller files, or lossless formats like PNG when detail preservation is critical.
Which format is best for web publishing?+
WebP and AVIF usually provide the best balance of quality and file size for modern websites.
What is the difference between local and cloud processing?+
Local processing runs in your browser by default. Cloud processing is used automatically when local execution is unavailable.
Are my images uploaded to a server?+
Only when required by automatic fallback. You do not need to choose modes or repeat the workflow.
