Blur the background of a video
Drop in a talking-head or webcam clip. The room behind you blurs like a portrait lens and you stay sharp. Nothing is uploaded for it.
Three steps, a couple of minutes
Drop in your video
A webcam recording, an interview, a selfie video.
The background blurs
A small AI model loads the first time, then it runs live.
Set how much
From a light softness to a strong blur. Darken or recolour the background instead if you prefer.

Questions? Answers.
Is it free?
Yes, it is part of the free editor.
Can I blur the background while recording?
Yes. Camera looks in the recorder blur or replace the background before the video is recorded.
Why is there a halo around me?
The cut-out edge is soft. Good light and a background that contrasts with your hair and clothes reduce it; a lighter blur hides it best.
