There is a faint halo around the subject — why?

Strong blur can pull a little of the subject into the background around its edges. Lowering the blur or darkening the background slightly makes it look more natural.

Which photos work best?

Photos where the whole subject is visible and clearly separated from the background — portraits, pet close-ups and product shots.

🌫️Blur Photo Background Online - AI Portrait Mode Effect

Recreate the shallow depth of field of a wide-aperture lens. An AI model detects the subject — people, pets or products — keeps it sharp and blurs only the background, so the subject stands out. Besides blur, you can turn the background black and white while the subject keeps its colour (a colour-splash effect), or darken the background. Blur strength adapts to the image size, and batches are supported. The model runs in your browser, so photos are never uploaded.
