Blur Background

Changed on

Description

The background/blur Route is used to create a blur effect on the background of an image.

Content Moderation

This endpoint includes granular content moderation controls to ensure safe usage across all stages of processing:

  • Input Image Moderation – Scans the uploaded image and stops processing if inappropriate or restricted content is detected.
  • Output Image Moderation – Evaluates the generated image and blocks the response if it violates safety guidelines.
