Python 3 Script to Add Blur Effect to an Image File Using Pillow Library Full Project For Beginners

Welcome folks today in this blog post we will be adding the blur effect to the input image file using pillow library in python. All the full source code of the application is shown below.

Get Started

In order to get started you need to make an app.py file and copy paste the following code

app.py

#Import required Image library
from PIL import Image, ImageFilter

#Open existing image
OriImage = Image.open('images/boy.jpg')
OriImage.show()

#Applying GaussianBlur filter
gaussImage = OriImage.filter(ImageFilter.GaussianBlur(5))
gaussImage.show()

#Save Gaussian Blur Image
gaussImage.save('images/gaussian_blur.jpg')

#Import required Image library

from PIL import Image, ImageFilter

#Open existing image

OriImage = Image.open('images/boy.jpg')

OriImage.show()

#Applying GaussianBlur filter

gaussImage = OriImage.filter(ImageFilter.GaussianBlur(5))

gaussImage.show()

#Save Gaussian Blur Image

gaussImage.save('images/gaussian_blur.jpg')

As you can see we are importing the pillow library and then we are applying the gaussian blur to the input image and then we are saving the output image file.
