Blur Background: the new feature of Google Photos

In recent days, Google is testing some new features in its applications, currently exclusive to Pixel mobiles.

And one of them is directly related to Google Photos. It's about the option Blur Background, which will allow you to have almost perfect photos.

It is an editing option that allows you to blur the background of your images, so that any of them can be converted to portrait mode.

You can now blur the background in Google Photos

Only for Pixel mobiles

So far, Google Photos allowed us to do this editing adjustment with photos that had been taken in portrait mode.

But, in the event that we had taken a photo with any other camera mode, this function was lost. However, now you will be able to convert any image you have stored in one of your digital albums to portrait mode. And the reality is that the result is quite interesting.

Of course, keep in mind that the Blur Background function is only available for mobile phones pixel. If you have another brand or model, you will not be able to use it.

At least for now, because most of the features that Google tests on its own smartphones end up reaching all Android phones. But right now you can only enjoy this feature if you have a Pixel and it is fully up to date.

Photo requirements

Also note that the Background Blur button will not appear on all photos. In photos in which people do not appear, this option will not be available. But we won't be able to find it in all of them either.

If the photo is full body or the face does not appear well framed, we will not be able to do it either. We must bear in mind that this is a function designed especially for selfies or portraits.

How to blur background in your Google Photos images

When a photo is suitable, we can see a button at the bottom that says Blur Background. By pressing it, we can select the amount of blur that we want for our image. Once we're done editing it. a copy of it will be saved in Google Photos.

The results, in general, are quite good, although obviously it will depend on our skill for the photo retouching. But if we manage to master the process we will be delighted with the result.
