Studio-style background blur used to need a fast lens. Now any phone photo can fake the effect: the subject stays sharp, the background fades smoothly, and the result looks editorial.

With AI engine Selfie Segmentation, the same on-device model Google uses in Meet and Duo for video background blur. The model loads from a CDN, runs entirely in your browser via fast in-browser engine, and produces a precise per-pixel alpha mask of the subject in well under a second on most devices.
Switch between three effects with one click, Blur (Gaussian blur with adjustable strength up to 60 px), Gray (background desaturated to black & white while subject stays in color), and Color (solid color picker for clean studio-style backgrounds). All effects render live as you adjust the controls.
AI segmentation masks can sometimes look hard-edged on hair and clothing edges. The Edge Softness slider applies a feather (Gaussian blur) to the alpha mask itself before compositing, values from 0 px (sharp) to 20 px (very soft) let you balance crisp subject edges against natural-looking transitions.
The AI engine model runs entirely client-side via fast in-browser engine and the HTML5 Canvas API. Your image is loaded into a canvas on your device, segmented locally, composited locally, and downloaded locally, no file is sent to any server, no account is needed, and nothing is stored.
