Creators are choosing a faster route from an ordinary room to a clean, publishable shot. StudioBlur keeps that route direct: open, choose, record, share.
Private by design
The camera work stays on your iPhone.
StudioBlur processes camera frames, person masks, optional face smoothing, imported backgrounds, photos, and finished videos on device. It does not require an account. Media leaves the app when you save it to Photos or choose to share it through iOS.
