- Smooth background: Blur a colorful photo to create a soft background for your project.
- Artistic effects: Achieve a dreamy or vintage look for your photos.
- Noise reduction: Gaussian filter is a popular technique not just for creative blurring, but also for reducing unwanted noise in photos. Try reducing noise in your photos! Visit our image filters section.
