This is how thousands of Snappa customers use the blur image tool to stand out
Blur an image to make text pop
When you drop text on to a sharp background image, your message gets muddled with the colors and shapes in the background.
When you blur the background image and THEN add your text, the background complements your message without stealing the spotlight.
Create pro headshots and selfies
Most Instagram-worthy headshots and selfies have one thing in common — a perfectly blurred background.
With Snappa, you can drop yourself onto any background and simply move a slider to create a beautiful blur effect that helps you stand out.
Combine blur with other effects
A blurred image is great, but for pros it’s only the first step toward creating a stunning image.
Use the same simple slider to combine blur with image darkening, saturation, hue, brightness, contrast, color overlays, and opacity.
Snappa is the best tool I've used to create images for blog posts & Facebook ads. In 5 minutes I can do what used to take me hours to do or pay designers to do.

Snappa is SO MUCH more than a free image blur tool
Snappa is a must have tool for the non-designers who publish content online. It's super easy to use and has a nice set of templates, and despite its simplicity offers unlimited possibilities for creative minds.
