What do I get back from Image Blur Background?

The result is JPG, JPEG, PNG, WEBP, offered as a download the moment the work finishes. Multiple results come back together rather than as fifty separate save dialogs.

Is there a file size limit?

A single file may be up to 100 MB, and a batch up to 50 files. Those are guardrails rather than a paid tier — the work happens on your machine, so an enormous document is limited by your own memory before it is limited by us.

Is it safe to use for a document with personal details in it?

That is the design goal: the document stays on your device, so a statement, a contract or an ID photo is never transmitted for processing. Nothing here needs an internet connection once the page has loaded, apart from engines that fetch their own model data.

What can't Image Blur Background do?

Depth-based blur uses edge/color heuristics — good for clean portraits, not a substitute for ML segmentation. That limit is stated on the page and in the alert above the tool, not buried in a footnote.
