99.5% accuracy on test sets

Low-latency pipeline

Live Background Blur

Smooth, natural and adaptive

4K ready

Smart features built for real people

We design decisions that respect nuance — hair, translucency and motion — so results look photographed, not pasted.

Neural Matting

Fine-edge extraction for hair and complex edges using learned matting that preserves texture.

Low Latency

Optimized GPU pipelines so blur happens live even on high-resolution streams.

Human Fine-Tune

Artists review critical shots to remove artifacts and preserve emotional intent.

How BlurPro works — simple, transparent

  1. Upload or connect live feed — camera, RTMP or WebRTC.
  2. AI separates foreground with temporal consistency.
  3. Artists review critical frames and we deliver blurred output or layered exports.

We prioritize speed for live use and depth for production. Tell us what matters most and we’ll tune the pipeline for your needs.

FAQ

Can I use it live on calls? Yes — we support WebRTC and RTMP inputs for low-latency live blurring as well as recorded workflows.
Do you preserve hair & translucency? We use neural matting plus hand-finishing for complex detail like hair, veils, or smoke. Results are tuned per-shot on request.
Is my data secure? All transfers are encrypted, and enterprise customers get isolated workspaces and NDA options.

Technical Specs & Deliverables

Clear expectations for files, formats, and delivery options to ensure smooth handoffs.

Accepted Inputs

  • WebRTC / RTMP live feeds
  • ProRes, DNxHR, MP4, MOV
  • Image sequences (EXR/PNG) with alpha

Deliverables & Options

Accessibility & Compliance

We prepare deliverables that meet accessibility needs: subtitles (SRT), burned-in captions for promos, and preview assets sized for assistive review. Enterprise customers can request compliance documentation and security addenda during onboarding.

Security Highlights

Encrypted transfers (TLS & SFTP), isolated workspaces for sensitive material, role-based access, and optional NDA. Ask about SOC2-style processes for regulated projects.

Discuss Security & Compliance

Quickstart — REST API

Programmatically upload a clip, request blur processing, and receive a callback when your deliverable is ready.

POST /api/v1/uploads
Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>
Content-Type: multipart/form-data
# form: file=@shot.mov&profile=pro
                    

SDKs & Integrations

Pre-built SDKs and connectors speed integration into your pipeline.

  • Node.js SDK — simple upload & webhook handling
  • Python client — batch processing and orchestration
  • Frame.io / Dropbox connectors for automated ingestion
  • Aspera & Signiant for enterprise transfers

Webhook Example

POST /webhooks/blur-status
Content-Type: application/json
{"jobId":"abc123","status":"complete","resultUrl":"https://.../deliverables/abc123.mp4"}

Preset Library — One-click Looks

Choose a preset to quickly apply a production-ready blur. Each preset is tuned for common scenarios and can be adjusted during review.

Subtle

Slight separation and soft background smoothing — ideal for video calls and interviews where context still matters.

Studio

Stronger depth-of-field look with preserved light wrap — great for product and talking-head content.

Portrait

Skin-safe smoothing and aggressive background blur that keeps faces sharp and detailed.

Privacy

High-intensity blur to remove identifiable background detail for compliance-sensitive uses.

Common Edge Cases & Practical Fixes

Handy guidance for the situations our artists see most often — includes what to capture on-set and what to expect in post.

Hair & Fine Detail

Capture highest-quality frames (RAW/ProRes) and a clean reference still. We combine neural matting, frequency separation and hand-painted alpha to preserve individual hairs without halos.

Motion Blur & Fast Action

Provide high frame-rate or less-compressed footage when possible. We use optical-flow interpolation with manual key-frame rotoscoping on critical frames to avoid ghosting.

Transparent Fabrics, Smoke & Atmospherics

Flag these clips up front. We treat translucent areas with layered mattes and spatially-varying alpha so the soft elements remain believable.

Reflections & Glass

Provide camera-facing reference frames and any intended reflection to retain. We isolate reflective planes, match and composite plausible reflections, or remove distracting ones as instructed.

Low Light & Noise

Send original high-bit footage and avoid aggressive camera denoising before upload. We apply temporal denoise and preserve edges with selective per-frame cleanup.

Mixed Codecs & Frame Rates

We recommend consolidating to a single, lossless working format for the final pass. If not possible, include a manifest and we’ll standardize color space and timing before processing.

For tough cases, flag clips on upload and choose the "critical" tier so our artists allocate extra manual attention.

Send Challenging Clips
