Blur pixels under a resizable brush with adjustable radius and hardness from Tools → Draw → Blur Brush. Soften wrinkles, backgrounds, or harsh edges without smearing color sideways. Drag on the photo to use the tool. Reset restores the original.
How it works
- Open PictorX in your browser and load an image or start a new design.
- Choose Blur Brush from the editor tools and paint over the area you want to soften.
- Continue editing with layers, effects, and text, then export when you are ready.
How to use the Blur Brush tool
Blur pixels under a resizable brush with adjustable radius and hardness. PictorX keeps the tool in the same browser workspace as your layers, photos, text, and design elements, so you can refine a composition without switching applications.

Use Blur Brush as one step in a complete editing workflow. Adjust the composition, add text or graphics, and keep every change editable while you turn an image into a finished design.
Frequently asked questions
What does the Blur Brush do?
It blurs pixels under the tip as you drag, like painting softness onto the photo.
How is it different from smudge?
Smudge drags color from one spot to another. Blur Brush softens detail in place without smearing it sideways.
What do size, radius, and hardness control?
Size is the tip diameter. Radius is how strongly neighboring pixels mix. Hardness is how sharp or feathered the edge is.
Should I blur live text?
No. Blurring rasterized type softens the letters. Keep real text on a type layer.
