What is Zoom Blur Effect?

Zoom blur creates radial motion blur radiating from a central focal point simulating camera zoom or rapid movement. The effect adds dynamic energy and speed to static images making subjects appear in motion. Motion lines radiate outward from your chosen center creating dramatic action photography look perfect for sports, racing, or emphasizing movement and energy in any scene.

How to Create Zoom Blur

Upload your image and drag the blue control point to set the zoom center - typically your main subject or focal point. Adjust blur strength from 0 (no effect) to 1 (extreme motion blur) controlling intensity of radial speed lines. The effect radiates from your chosen center point creating illusion of zooming motion. Works best when center point is on main subject keeping them relatively sharp while background blurs outward.

Zoom Blur vs Motion Blur

Zoom blur differs from linear motion blur by radiating from a central point rather than moving in one direction. Creates explosive outward energy suggesting zoom or explosion rather than lateral movement. Perfect for emphasizing central subjects while adding dynamic energy. Combines well with action shots, portraits for dramatic effect, or product photography for attention-grabbing impact.

When to Use Zoom Blur

Apply zoom blur to sports photography emphasizing athlete motion and energy. Racing photography benefits from center point on vehicle creating speed sensation. Concert photography with blur centered on performer adds dynamic stage energy. Product photography uses subtle zoom blur drawing attention to featured item. Action scenes, jumping shots, or any image needing dramatic motion enhancement. Creates comic book speed effect for creative social media posts.

Professional Zoom Blur Quality

Export zoom blur images at full resolution using WebGL GPU acceleration for smooth radial gradients. PNG format preserves sharp center details with smooth blur transitions. JPEG compression maintains effect quality at 40-60% smaller file sizes. WebP offers best balance with 30-45% size reduction versus PNG maintaining professional zoom blur quality for web and social media.
