## What is QuickBlur?

QuickBlur aims to help you blur photo background automatically with so many beautiful blur effects.

SMART BLUR
With smart selection tool, you just need to select some part of the main object, the app will auto-detect foreground and background, then make the background blurry.

EASY REFINE TOOL
The brush is placed on top of your finger to help you easily see which part you're refining.

SO MANY BLUR EFFECTS
With over 15 blur effects, you can now choose the best blur effect to fit your need. Some of them are blur, motion, zoom, pixelate, Hexa pixelate, polar pixelate, glass, crystal, point, halftone, fun house, bloom, dot, hatch,...
And you can refine the effect's intensity to have the best result.
