What this tool is for
this result
Use this tool for one focused job without opening a full application. The aim is a useful result without making you learn a full piece of software first.
Free · No sign-up · PrivateSmart / Local Tools
Blur a background by depth.
Estimate scene depth locally, choose the distance you want to keep sharp, then soften areas farther from that focus range.
Private by design: your image stays in this browser tab. The open depth model downloads on first use and runs locally on your device.
Different from portrait blur
This tool does not assume the subject is a person. It estimates distance across the whole scene, so it can work on objects, rooms, food, pets and landscapes too.
Use the focus controls
Move Focus depth until the important subject becomes sharp, then widen or tighten Focus range to control how much of the scene stays in focus.
Good to know
Depth is estimated from a single image, so unusual reflections, glass, fine gaps and visually ambiguous scenes can produce imperfect transitions.
Before you finish
A quick check makes a better result.
OutMonkey is built to be simple enough for someone doing this once and useful enough for someone who does it every day.
Good to know
Do the small job, then move on.
Open or inspect the result once before you send it. Make sure the thing you wanted changed is actually changed and nothing else important was lost.
If the result is for someone else, open it once as they would see it. That simple check catches a surprising number of tiny mistakes.
In plain English
You do not need to be an expert.
These tools are meant for normal people as much as designers or developers. You should not need to know the technical name of a task before you can finish it.
