Live media tool
Try it with your file
Demo files are processed temporarily and should not contain sensitive information.
Try the real workflow
Use your own file and inspect a downloadable result before building anything.
Real media processing
Uppy sends the upload into a live Transloadit Assembly, not a browser-only mock.
Ready for your product
Move the same capability into uploads, cloud imports, storage, and delivery.
Turn a one-off edit into a repeatable visual system
The useful version of an image is rarely just one file. Create the crops, sizes, formats, and visual treatments each surface needs, then connect the outputs directly to storage and delivery.
Consistent presentation
Apply the same crop, dimensions, and visual treatment to every incoming image.
One source, many variants
Create thumbnails, social crops, and high-resolution output in parallel.
Faster experiences
Optimize delivery weight while retaining the quality your interface needs.
Composable edits
Combine enhancement, background handling, watermarking, and format conversion.
Content-aware logic
Use detected metadata to filter or branch before expensive processing runs.
Smart CDN variants
Deliver exact dimensions from the edge instead of storing every possible copy.
How to use this tool
- Step 1
Upload your image
Choose a supported image from your device. Uppy handles the browser upload.
- Step 2
Let Transloadit process it
Run “Blur image” on Transloadit’s distributed processing platform and watch its progress.
- Step 3
Use the finished result
Inspect and download the blurred image, or connect the workflow to your own storage.
Change the URL. Deliver the exact asset each screen needs.
Smart CDN combines a reusable Transloadit Template with URL parameters and global caching. Explore a real transformation below, then imagine the same pattern across your product’s media.
Choose the viewing context
The interesting part
The original stays untouched. Each URL can request the exact variant a screen needs, while repeat requests are served from the CDN cache.
Fetching this variant…A catalog image pipeline
Generate product cards, zoom images, and social crops from one source.
A visual design system
Enforce dimensions, quality, and branding on user-generated images.
A responsive media layer
Request the right dimensions from a URL and cache the result globally.

Frequently asked questions
How does the Blur image tool work?
Upload a supported image file, run the tool, and download the blurred image. The page sends your upload through Uppy into a real Transloadit Assembly, so the result demonstrates the same processing platform available through the API.
What is the maximum file size?
Files can be up to 25 MB on this public utility. Production workflows can accept larger files, process batches, import directly from cloud storage, and create several outputs in parallel.
Are uploaded files stored permanently?
The public tool processes files temporarily. Do not upload sensitive material. A production workspace gives you control over authentication, storage destinations, and retention.
Can I automate blur image with an API?
Yes. The same processing capability is available through reusable Transloadit Templates. Trigger it from Uppy, a backend SDK, an API request, or a Smart CDN URL, then send results to storage and services you control.
What other file tools are available?
Browse the image tools category for related utilities. Each page runs a real upload and produces a downloadable result.
Process uploads, batches, and cloud files with one workflow
Move this same capability into your product: process customer uploads and cloud files, then route the results to storage, webhooks, and delivery.
