Frequently Asked Questions About Portrait Blur

Everything you need to know about adding realistic depth to your photos.

Does this tool remove the background or just blur it? ＋

This tool specifically adds a blur effect (bokeh/depth-of-field) to the background while keeping the foreground subject sharp. It does NOT remove the background or make it transparent. If you need a transparent background, please use our Background Remover tool.

Will the blur look realistic or fake? ＋

Dopic uses AI to simulate realistic optical lens characteristics (like f/1.4 or f/2.8 apertures). The result features smooth gradients and natural light falloff, closely mimicking photos taken with high-end DSLR cameras rather than generic digital filters.

Can I adjust how strong the blur is? ＋

Yes! You can control the intensity of the blur effect. Whether you want a subtle softening or a heavy, dreamy bokeh, you can adjust the parameters to get the perfect depth-of-field look for your image.

Is my photo data safe when I use Dopic? ＋

Absolutely. All processing happens directly in your browser using client-side technology. Your original image is never uploaded to our servers, ensuring your privacy and data security.
