What&rsquo;s especially amazing about this feature is that it easily lets you blur an entire picture, or just part of a picture, depending on what you need. It&rsquo;s super versatile and worth checking out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To blur a picture in Canva, click on the &ldquo;Edit Image&rdquo; button. Choose the &ldquo;Blur&rdquo; effect and use the &ldquo;Auto&rdquo; button to blur your entire image. Adjust the intensity as needed. To blur a part of your picture, use the &ldquo;Blur&rdquo; and &ldquo;Restore&rdquo; buttons to manually draw your blur effect onto your picture.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re still feeling a bit blurry about blurring on Canva, don&rsquo;t worry. We&rsquo;re about to walk through everything you need to know, step-by-step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To begin with, we&rsquo;ll talk about how to blur an entire picture. Then, we&rsquo;ll talk about two methods for blurring part of a picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">How to Blur a Full Picture in Canva with the Blur Tool<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To blur a full picture in Canva with the blur tool, click on the &ldquo;Edit Image&rdquo; button. Choose the &ldquo;Blur&rdquo; effect and click on the &ldquo;Auto&rdquo; button. Use the intensity slider to increase or decrease the amount of blur covering your picture.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&rsquo;s what to do, step-by-step:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Select the picture you want to blur<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canva&rsquo;s blur effect will be applied to the picture you have selected. This means that, if you have multiple pictures in your design, it will only be applied to the one you have selected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have multiple pictures you&rsquo;d like to blur, simply repeat these steps for each picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&rsquo;ll know your picture is selected when there&rsquo;s an outline around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this tutorial, I&rsquo;ll use this picture of my cutie pie chihuahua who has claimed the pillow I spent hours and hours crocheting &#128578;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"343\" src=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/dog-on-pillow-in-canva.png\" alt=\"dog on pillow in canva\" class=\"wp-image-6868\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/dog-on-pillow-in-canva.png 800w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/dog-on-pillow-in-canva-300x129.png 300w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/dog-on-pillow-in-canva-768x329.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"343\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20800%20343'%3E%3Crect%20width='800'%20height='343'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"dog on pillow in canva\" class=\"wp-image-6868 eager-load\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/dog-on-pillow-in-canva.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/dog-on-pillow-in-canva.png.webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/dog-on-pillow-in-canva.png.webp 800w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/dog-on-pillow-in-canva-300x129.png.webp 300w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/dog-on-pillow-in-canva-768x329.png.webp 768w\" data-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>2.

Adjust the blur of your picture<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as you click on the &ldquo;Auto Focus&rdquo; button, Canva will apply it to your picture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a look at the results and adjust it as needed. The blur position slider will change the focus of your blur. Basically, by using the slider, you&rsquo;ll adjust where your blur radiates from. So, if Canva didn&rsquo;t focus on the correct part of your image the first time, use that blur position slider to adjust it.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"347\" src=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/canva-auto-focus-image-options.png\" alt=\"canva auto focus image options\" class=\"wp-image-6885\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/canva-auto-focus-image-options.png 800w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/canva-auto-focus-image-options-300x130.png 300w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/canva-auto-focus-image-options-768x333.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"347\" src=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/canva-auto-focus-image-options.png.webp\" alt=\"canva auto focus image options\" class=\"wp-image-6885 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/canva-auto-focus-image-options.png.webp 800w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/canva-auto-focus-image-options-300x130.png.webp 300w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/canva-auto-focus-image-options-768x333.png.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/canva-auto-focus-image-options.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-21\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>You can also use the blur intensity slider to adjust the intensity of your blur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, this blurring method works best for certain types of pictures.
