Through this article, we will give you some tips on how to blur background in photos using some editing tools. It is very easy and you can try it by yourself.
How to Blur Background in Photo using Editing Application
There are 3 editing applications we recommend you use as an editing tool to make a blurred background below:
1. Instagram Editing
Most people want to do photo editing to upload it on their Instagram account. Do you recognize that there is a feature that allows you to blur the background?
The feature is named by vignette and users can choose how they want to blur the background between circular blur or linear blur. The minus point from this feature is you can’t select the specific object and it just blurs everything within the range of shape automatically.
For example, you have a picture of a selfie right in the center of the frame and you choose the circular shape of the vignette. The blur will surround the object, but there will be some background that stay as it is (won’t get blur).
