Show HN: Blur Image Online – A free, client-side tool to blur images

https://www.blurimageonline.com/
1•zaiyiqi•4mo ago
I'm excited to share my first-ever side project: Blur Image Online.

The idea came from my own need. I often had to share screenshots but needed to hide sensitive information first. Most online tools either uploaded my images to their servers, were slow, or full of ads. I wanted a simple, private, "open-and-use" tool, so I decided to build it myself.

The most important feature for me is privacy. All the image processing happens entirely in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to any server.

Current State & Future Plans: Right now, the tool is in its very first version. It can apply a blur effect to the entire image, and you can adjust the intensity.

My immediate next goal is to add a brush feature to allow blurring of specific areas, which would make it much more useful. I'm still exploring the best way to implement this, and I would love to hear any thoughts or technical suggestions from the community.

Since this is my first real project, I'm sure there is a lot of room for improvement. I would be incredibly grateful for any feedback, bug reports, or feature suggestions.

Thanks for checking it out!

After the actual UI there is a whole SEO article. :/
zaiyiqi•4mo ago
Thanks for the feedback, that's a really good point.

To be honest, I added that text hoping to improve search engine visibility, but I wasn't sure if it was the right approach. It seems like it hurts the user experience.

Is the general consensus that this kind of content should live on a separate "blog" or "about" page for a single-page application like this? I'm new to this and would love to learn the best practice.

Thanks again!

anon1395•4mo ago
Well, personally I would prefer if it doesn't exist.

Example of a good image toolbox online: https://ezgif.com/ - straight to the point.

Example of a bad page: https://imageresizer.com/crop-image - the long SEO-style content feels distracting and undermines trust.

Users who see the blog post section will know it is an SEO tactic, which puts people off. Also, nobody's going to read it; I would recommend adding some JS to detect if the user is a google bot, if so, remove the blog post. Lastly, the faceless, generic design can seem very sketchy.

I don't really think it matters. This helps with SEO so more people can find the site. The UI is right at the top, so it doesn't really impact the user experience, especially since few people would bother to read all that content. As long as the tool is functional, that should be enough, right?

The site reminds me of a youtube video downloader. They technically do the job but the site itself it seems very sketchy.
