Blur PNG
Softens a PNG with a Gaussian blur effect.

What Blur PNG does
The Blur PNG tool on Online PNG Tools applies a Gaussian blur filter to Portable Network Graphics files, softening edges and reducing visual sharpness across the entire image. Users upload a PNG and adjust the blur intensity using a slider or input field, generating a modified version that obscures fine details while preserving the general shape and composition. The processed output maintains the PNG format, making it suitable for web design, graphic editing, and reducing file size without losing quality, or for creating softer, more visually appealing looks in digital projects.
