A sharp band stays clear. The rest is a soft box blur. Light uses a radius of 2. Strong uses 8. Width and height stay the same. PNG keeps transparency. JPG fills empty pixels with white. Camera location is not copied.

How to add a tilt-shift

1. Drop a JPG or PNG you already have. A video, an audio file or a WebP is refused here. 2. Leave the sharp band in the middle, or pick top or bottom. 3. Leave medium, or pick light or strong. 4. Leave PNG, or pick JPG. 5. Press “Apply tilt-shift” and download.

GustKit blurs a copy of the photo on the canvas, then keeps a band sharp and mixes the blur in as you leave that band. Light uses a radius of 2. Medium uses 4. Strong uses 8. Width and height stay the same. PNG keeps transparency. JPG fills empty pixels with white. Camera location is not copied.

A band, not a soft photo

Blur image softens every pixel. Motion blur streaks detail along one line. This page leaves one horizontal band sharp and softens what sits above and below it. A short video belongs on Blur video, which saves MP4.

The photo stays in this tab

The canvas of this browser draws the band. GustKit does not fetch a photo from a link. Close the tab and the file is gone. Photos up to the limit shown next to the button.

How to check the tilt-shift

1. Open the original and the download at the same zoom. 2. The band you picked should stay sharper than the top or the bottom. Strong should soften the outside more than light. 3. If the size changed, you opened a different page.

Blur image softens every pixel. This page keeps one horizontal band sharp and saves PNG or JPG. Nothing is uploaded.
