Blurring effects eliminate distracting elements in photos, allowing viewers to focus more on the main subject. In this article, Mytour will guide you through 2 methods to create blurred effects on iPhone photos.
1. Blurring the Background of Photos on iPhone
If you're taking a portrait and want to blur the background on iPhone photos, there are 2 ways to do it.
Method 1 - Using Portrait Mode on Your Camera
The Portrait Mode feature on the iPhone camera allows you to capture stunning portrait photos with a beautifully blurred background. The camera automatically focuses on the main subject while blurring the surroundings of the photo.
This mode is available from iPhone 7 Plus onwards.
Step 1: Open the Camera app on your phone, switch to Portrait mode (next to Photo).
Step 2: In this shooting mode, you'll notice that the main subject becomes sharper and more defined, while the background area gets blurred.
To adjust the blur level, tap on the F icon at the top right corner. This icon represents the camera's aperture.
Step 3: Swipe the f-stop slider to select the depth of field you desire. The smaller the number, the blurrier the background becomes.
Step 4: You can also choose a different lighting mode by tapping on Natural Light >> select the lighting mode you desire.
Step 5: Finally, just capture the blurred photo!
Method 2 - Using YouCam Perfect App
YouCam Perfect is a powerful photo editing app that allows you to blur photo backgrounds quickly and easily.
Step 1: Download the YouCam Perfect app from the AppStore.
Step 2: YouCam Perfect can be used for free, but you may encounter some ads and subscription screens, simply tap X to remove them.
Step 3: Once you're in the main interface of YouCam Perfect, select Photo Edit. Tap on the Photo icon at the top left corner to add a photo to the app.
Step 4: After your photo is added to the app, select Tools >> Blur.
Step 5: In the next screen, you can choose from various blur modes including Circle, Ellipse, and Rectangle. These modes will create a focused area in the middle of the image, while blurring the outer parts.
For example, like the circle and ellipse shapes shown below:
Step 6: To let the app automatically detect the main object and blur around it, tap on the Person icon in the middle - at the bottom.
Then use the horizontal slider to adjust the blur level.
Step 7: Tap on the V symbol (bottom right corner) when you're satisfied, then tap Save to save the photo to your photo library.
2. Blurring a specific area of a photo on iPhone
If you want to blur a specific area on iPhone, you can also use YouCam Perfect to do it effortlessly.
Step 1: Add the photo you need to edit to YouCam Perfect following the instructions above, select Tools >> Blur.
Step 2: Select Brush.
Step 3: Initially, your photo will be entirely blurred, so use the Eraser tool to remove the blur from the entire photo.
Step 4: Now, use the Brush tool to paint on the photo to blur the area you desire.
Swipe the slider on the screen to adjust the blur level.
Step 5: Tap V (bottom right corner) when you're done. Then tap Save to save the photo to your library.
