Take full control over the motion blur effect using simple text commands. Our conversational AI allows you to specify exactly how you want to blur your image. Describe whether you want to blur the background to make a subject pop, or apply a radial blur for a spinning effect. For example, you could type “add motion blur to the background, keeping the cyclist in focus” to create a professional panning shot effect. This gives you the creative freedom to achieve your desired look with precision and ease.

This effect can turn a simple photo into a compelling piece of visual storytelling. By selectively applying blur, you can emphasize your main subject and add a layer of drama and emotion. Experiment with different prompts to discover how motion blur can enhance your creative projects.
