Add the soft out-of-focus glow a fast lens produces. Background lights turn into gentle discs while your subject stays sharp, giving a flat snapshot the depth of a wide-aperture portrait.
How the bokeh photo effect works
Upload a photo with some separation between subject and background. Describe the bokeh you want, such as 'strong creamy bokeh with round highlights' or 'subtle bokeh, hexagonal shapes, warm'. Run the tool and check the edges of your subject, particularly hair, where halos appear first. If the effect is too strong or the edges look cut out, soften the wording and run again on the same upload.
Tips for the best results
Photos with point lights behind the subject, such as string lights or a lit street, produce the most convincing bokeh. Name the highlight shape and the strength. Ask for hair edges to stay natural. Subjects standing flat against a wall have nothing to blur, so choose shots with depth.
