5 Best Ways to Blur Images in GIMP - Tutorial for Beginners

[@karpsson]

Thank you for this video! I found out how to blur around face without clicking around with Blur tool. All I needed was to select a face, then invert the selection (so everything gets selected but the face) and then to use Gaussian blur. It worked perfectly!

[@bobbyw5877]

Nice tip.. thank you

[@KerryMannyPerez-no1td]

Thank you for a great, easy to follow tutorial!

[@user-sl4ul4nc3t]

You can also use the selection tool, then select the blur from filters (or whatever filter)... Of course it will add the filter to whatever the box is around, so you can use lasso/free hand selection.

your vids are through , straight to the point ... just great

[@pryzmthedragon]

Thanks for this. Just what I needed. I'm starting to learn how to make better youtube thumbnails and blurring out the background on some screenshots turns out quite nicely.

[@torspedia]

Ta for this. Useful to know, for when I need to censor parts of an image (like an person's details) before for posting to social media, especially Instagram and Twitter!

[@fleshinterface]

Thanks, exactly what I needed!

nice presentation

[@KatzProductionsYT]

Thanks, figured out that my blur tool wasn't working due to the 'rate'

[@jenniferjangles1]

Do you have any tips for when the blur tool simply does nothing? The smudge is working, just not the blur. I've set the rate to 100 and turned off dynamics.

[@climax7260]

Thank you man. very helpful

[@hellhound2607]

thanks bro

[@creeyuwan2733]

Thanks Chris

[@RobertShaverOfAustin]

Very helpful. I'm new to GIMP so have many questions. Can I set the center, origin or direction of the motion blur filters? Are all the blur filters "destructive".

[@AdwaithLakshmi]

GMiC download link is not working, can you give me the link to download the GMIc` download?

[@hex9487]

Thanks a Lot .

[@anubiswerelupe]

I noticed when switching to GIMP 2.10 that the basic Blur filter was missing from the Filters. Is that a Filter I can import back into GIMP? It was a handy Filter to add just a touch of softness to the selected area.

[@anubiswerelupe]

@King Ninja Switch back to the older Gimp? Yeah, you can switch back by deleting the new Gimp and redownloading an older version

[@sureshot52r48]

How would i make a transparent layer that would blur anything under the layer, like an iphone would do? I want to export it as a PNG

[@yashwantr5426]

[@yasmin6175]

Hi, I am trying to edit one of my images using GIMP and the blur button is not there. Can anyone help? using GIMP 2.10.24

[@abhijitkhanvalkar4798]

Is it possible to blur fuzzy selected area only in GIMP ?

[@carlosvipe2765]

It's a video for someone who already knows about the subject and just wants to review it.

[@carlosvipe2765]

It's a good video, but the narration of the didatic point of it should have been done with more emphasis and not mix of the two talks: the description of side point to the descrimption of the main, the didatic one..

[@bowserthedog4887]

it wont blur looks the same

[@3xbros337]

yeah same for me

[@jenniferjangles1]

I've changed the rate to 100 and it also does nothing for me.
