## Overview

The Image Motion Blur Kernel tool allows you to simulate realistic camera movement or object motion by applying a directional blur effect to your images. By adjusting the angle, length, and intensity, you can create professional-grade motion effects that add depth and dynamic energy to your visual content.

## Inputs

- **Image File** (file): Image to apply motion blur kernel
- **Motion Direction (degrees)** (number): Direction of motion blur (0°=horizontal, 90°=vertical, 45°=diagonal)
- **Motion Length** (select): Length of motion blur effect in pixels
- **Intensity** (number): Strength of motion blur effect (0.1-5.0)
- **Output Mode** (select): Additional processing on the motion blurred output

## When to use

- Adding a sense of speed to static images of vehicles or athletes.
- Simulating camera panning effects to emphasize motion in a scene.
- Creating artistic, stylized visual effects for graphic design projects.

## How it works

- Upload your image file in a supported format like PNG, JPEG, or WebP.
- Set the motion direction in degrees and choose the blur length in pixels.
- Adjust the intensity and select an output mode to refine the final aesthetic.
- Process the image to generate and download your motion-blurred result.

## Use cases

- Enhancing sports photography to highlight the speed of a runner or cyclist.
- Creating cinematic background blur for product showcase images.
- Applying vintage or dramatic filters to motion-blurred artistic compositions.

## Frequently asked questions

### What image formats are supported?

The tool supports JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and TIFF formats.

### How do I control the direction of the blur?

Use the 'Motion Direction' input to set the angle in degrees, where 0° is horizontal and 90° is vertical.

### What does the intensity setting do?

The intensity setting adjusts the strength of the blur effect, allowing you to fine-tune how pronounced the motion appears.

### Can I change the look of the output?

Yes, the 'Output Mode' option allows you to apply presets like Enhanced, Vintage, or Dramatic to alter the final color and brightness.

### Is there a limit to the file size?

Yes, the maximum file size for uploads is 10 MB.
