Pro Tips for Safer Image Blurring
Review the final export carefully before sharing sensitive images
Use a strong enough effect
For privacy, zoom in and confirm that names, faces, numbers, and other details cannot be recognized.
Keep the original
Save an untouched copy before exporting a blurred version so you can make future edits.
Check at full size
A blur that looks effective in a thumbnail may reveal details when the image is viewed at its original size.
Sharpen ImageKeep the source available
Retain the original file or input until you have checked and accepted the exported result.
Review before sharing
Check the final output for errors, unexpected changes, or information that should not be published.
Use consistent settings
Reuse the same preferred options when processing a series of files for a consistent result.
