Blurring softens an image, either as a stylistic effect or to hide something sensitive in the background — a face, a number plate, a document on a desk — before you share a screenshot or a photo.

Blur a document, screen, or number plate visible in the background of a photo before sharing it.

Questions

Can I blur just one area, not the whole image?

This tool blurs the whole image evenly. To hide one detail, crop that region out separately, blur it, and recombine in a design tool — or simply crop the sensitive part out entirely.

Is a heavy blur always reversible?

No — enough blur permanently destroys detail; that's exactly what makes it reliable for hiding something.
