What is Vignra?
Vignra is a browser tool that blurs photo backgrounds and keeps the subject in focus.
You choose one photo, adjust the blur strength, compare before and after, and download a static result.
It is not a background remover. It softens the background instead of cutting it out.
What is the difference between Basic and AI Refined?
Basic is free and local. AI Refined is optional, uses the cloud and costs credits.
- Basic runs on your device with no account. The site says your photo is not uploaded automatically and its file details are not sent to analytics.
- AI Refined is labelled Advanced Bokeh. It needs sign-in, costs 10 credits and uploads the photo only after you confirm.
- If local processing cannot finish, Basic stops and does not fall back to an automatic upload.
What are the limits?
Photos can be up to 20 MB and 24 megapixels.
Many formats work, including JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, HEIC and TIFF. Some are converted on your device first, and animated or multi-page files use the first frame. Local processing can take 10 seconds or longer.
Is it safe for hiding faces or text?
No. The site says the tool is not meant for reliably hiding faces, license plates or sensitive text.
Blur strength varies by photo, so use a different tool if you must conceal something.
How much does it cost?
Basic is free with no subscription. AI Refined costs 10 credits per photo.
The site shows the cost and terms before you confirm a cloud job. See its pricing page for current credit prices, and its refund policy for terms.

| Pixlr | Quick edits in a browser editor | Check which tools are free and which need an account |
