## Description

Blur Background Photo Editor is an AI-powered Chrome extension that instantly blurs photo backgrounds. Upload any image, choose either photo or background mode, and select a blur effect. Each effect is customizable, delivering a fully automatic result in seconds. You can blur the entire image or target just the background for precise focus.

Use a flexible blur toolkit: Default, Radius, Motion, Zoom, Box, Surface, and Bokeh, with each effect fully adjustable to achieve the exact look you want. The extension supports applying blur to the entire image or just the background, and it previews changes instantly. A subscription model grants unlimited access to all features, with auto-renewal, trial periods, and regional pricing; terms and privacy policy links are provided.

## Review summary

Users frequently report stability problems (crashes, not opening, inability to save) and billing frustrations (surprise charges, unclear subscription terms). A subset still praises the blur background feature and overall usefulness, but positive feedback is often overshadowed by performance and pricing concerns.

### Pros

- Blur background editing feature is useful and works for some users.
- Some reviewers report the app can produce good blur effects and functions as meant when it works.
- Positive user sentiment is present (mentions of 5-star ratings or praise in some reviews).

### Cons

- Frequent stability issues: crashes during editing or saving, the app closes unexpectedly, or won’t open (including device lock).
- Billing and pricing problems: unexpected charges during or after the free trial, subscription-based pricing, and confusion about how to dispute charges due to lack of clear developer contact.
- Usability friction and ads: occasional trouble selecting a photo for editing and presence of ads that hinder workflow.
