About the Blur GIF
The Img Stop Blur GIF tool blurs or pixelates animated GIFs. Use it on the whole GIF for a soft background look, or drag a box over just one area to hide something – a face, a name, an email address or a number.
The effect is applied to every frame, so the animation keeps playing. It all happens in your browser – handy for private details, because the GIF is never uploaded.
