Blur Background

Frequently asked questions

• Why we need to blur photo background?

  Fuzzy image background will help to emphasize the subject and highlight the focus on texts, icons, objects, and people on the foreground. It will help to level up the texture of product photos or travel photos.

  
  

• What creates a background blur?

  The primary factors that create background blur in a photo are wide aperture, longer focal length, and increased subject to background distance. Cutout.pro leverages artificial intelligence to identify and separate the foreground and background and blur the background automatically.

  
  

• What is focal length?

  The focal length of a lens is an optical property of the lens. It measures the distance, in millimeters, between the optical center of the lens and the camera’s sensor.

  
  

• What is aperture?

  Aperture is the adjustable lens opening that controls the amount of light allowed into the camera. Learning to properly adjust these three settings based on your location and subject is essential for capturing good exposures.

  
  

• What is Depth of Field?

  Depth of field (DOF) is defined as how much of an image is acceptably in focus (sharp). The photographer should be deliberate in creating an image with the proper depth of field, depending on the genre or the end goal of the image.

  
  

• Are there tools to create blurry background?

  Creating photos with a shallow depth of field was traditionally done in high-end cameras (e.g. DSLRs), using the aperture and focal length settings, as well as certain methods of composition. However, with the advancement of technology, blurry background can be achieved by using modern mobile phones equipped with multiple cameras or lidar. Now, even better and easier, cutout.pro helps you to create blurry background automatically in your regular photos taken by any devices.
