Frequently asked questions

How does the blur effect work?

Your subject is separated from its background, so blur never eats into edges — cleaner than simple whole-image blur filters.

Can I choose how strong the blur is?

You can pick different background images and colors; fine-grained blur sliders are on our roadmap.
