How to Blur on Picsart

Step 1: Open PicsArt. Click on the Plus icon to add a photo. Select the photo from the gallery.

Step 2: Click on Effects and then Click on Blur. 

You can do simple blur, focal blur, radial blur, lens blur, smart blur, and motion blur.

Let’s do the Simple Blur. You can click on eraser to erase some parts which you don’t want to be blurred. You can erase the area manually. 

When you click on ERASER, you will get a few tools below: Select, Restore, erase, shape, and invert. If you click on the select tool, but only want to blur the background, you will need to click on a person/object and then click on invert. Remember that you can always use the eraser tool to erase on Picsart.

Now your person/object is in focus, but the background is blurred.

How To Blur Part of a Photo 

Sometimes you only want to obscure a portion of the image rather than the entire thing. This is frequently done to draw viewers’ attention to a particular image area and prevent them from being diverted by other details.

Step 1 

Click + to import your photo into the PicsArt app after opening it.

Step 2 

To choose the area of the photo you want to blur, scroll across the bottom toolbar and hit Tools, then Selection.

Step 3 

There are various tools available that you can use to choose the portion you want to blur based on its shape. To have Picsart AI Select feature automatically find certain areas of your image, tap Select.

Alternatively, you can tap Oval to blur anything rounded and Rectangle to blur something rectangular. The shape will typically not fit into any categories, so you’ll need to touch on the Lasso or Brush to draw a circle around the area you wish to blur.

Step 4

Now that the region you want to blur out has been highlighted in red go to Effects on the top menu, select BLUR to open, and use the appropriate PicsArt blur filter for your project. This will produce the desired blurred effect on the area highlighted in your photo.

Remember that the blur app tool allows you to modify the blur parameters further. Tap and hold the filter to manually modify the blur effect to your preferred level if you want to make further changes. When you’re through modifying the filter, tap Apply to save your changes.

To save and export your shot or to instantly upload it to your social networking networks, select Next.
