Instagram-style portrait frame
A zoomed, blurred version of the image fills the frame as a colourful background, then the original sits centred and sharp on top — the exact look used to post portrait videos and photos as squares on social media.

Frequently asked questions
What is the blurred frame effect?
The background is the same image scaled up and blurred to fill the canvas, while the sharp original sits centred on top. This fills empty space when fitting a non-square image into a square or landscape frame without cropping the subject.
Is the blurred frame tool free?
Yes — completely free and unlimited. No signup, no account, no watermark, no daily limit.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The effect is applied entirely in your browser on your device. Your image never leaves your computer, so it stays fully private.
Can I use it for Instagram Reels or TikTok?
Yes — it is ideal for fitting a landscape or portrait video frame into a 9:16 or 1:1 canvas. Export as PNG or JPG and use the result as a cover image or thumbnail.
Add a blurred frame to another image
Drop in a new photo to give it a blurred background frame — free and unlimited, no signup required.
