Bilateral Filter

Apply bilateral filter for edge-preserving smoothing that reduces noise while maintaining image details

Image File *

Click to upload file or drag and drop file here

Maximum file size: 20MB Supported formats: image/jpeg, image/png, image/webp, image/gif, image/bmp, image/tiff

Upload any image file (JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, TIFF) to apply edge-preserving bilateral filtering

Spatial Sigma

0.5 3 10

Controls spatial smoothing. Higher values smooth larger areas

Range Sigma

5 30 100

Controls edge preservation. Higher values preserve fewer edges

Kernel Size

3 5 15

Size of the bilateral filter kernel (must be odd). Larger kernels consider more neighbors

Filter Iterations

Number of bilateral filter passes. More iterations = stronger smoothing

Preserve Details

Maintain fine details and textures while smoothing

Channel Processing

Choose which color channels to process

Output Format

Choose output format or keep original. PNG recommended for maximum quality

Quality (1-100)

Output quality for lossy formats (JPEG, WebP). Higher = better quality but larger file size
