How to Blur the Edges of Images in Photopea

In this tutorial, we’ll walk through the steps to blur the edges of images using Photopea. This effect can help create a soft, gradient look around your images, which is perfect for various design purposes.

Step 1: Select the Image Area

First, make sure your image layer is selected. Right-click on the layer and choose "Select Pixels" to create a selection around the image.

Step 2: Shrink the Selection

To refine the selection, go to Select > Modify > Contract. Set the contraction value to 200 pixels and click OK. This will shrink the selection by 200 pixels from each side, focusing on the area where you want to apply the blur.

Step 3: Feather the Selection

Feathering will soften the edges of the selection. Navigate to Select > Modify > Feather. Set the feather radius to 200 pixels and ensure that Apply is checked. Click OK to apply the feathering effect.

Step 4: Add a Layer Mask

Add a layer mask to your image by going to Layer > Layer Mask > Reveal Selection. This will create a mask that reveals only the selected area, giving a blurred edge effect.

Step 5: Apply the Layer Mask

To finalize the effect, right-click on the layer mask and select Apply. This action will apply the mask to your image.

Step 6: Create a New Background Layer

Create a new layer by clicking on the New Layer icon. Move this layer below the current image layer. Switch your foreground color to white, select the Paint Bucket Tool, and click on the new layer to fill it with a white background.
