Description

This endpoint allows you to apply a blur effect to an image. Blurring an image can be useful for various purposes, such as anonymizing sensitive information, creating a soft-focus effect, loader skeletons, etc. Blurring an image depends on a factor sigma that determines the intensity of the blur effect. The higher the value of sigma, the more intense the blur effect will be. This value represents the standard deviation of the Gaussian kernel used to apply the blur effect.
