Simple Bokeh

How to use

1. Choose a photo
2. Tap the spot you want to keep sharp
3. Adjust the blur strength and save

To compare with the original, touch and hold the photo or use the Original button.

I can’t save

Save as New needs permission to add photos, and Replace Original needs permission to read and change photos. Check photo access for Simple Bokeh in the Settings app. The Save button becomes available once the edit has finished showing.

I can’t replace the original

Live Photos, animated images, spatial photos, and photos that can’t be edited can’t be replaced. Choose Save as New to save them as still photos.

Undoing a replaced photo

Open the photo in the Photos app and use Revert in Edit. This returns the photo to how it was when it was taken or imported. Any edits made before Simple Bokeh replaced it are also undone.

Loading a photo takes a long time

Photos stored in iCloud need a network connection to download their original data. Check your connection, or open the photo in the Photos app and then choose it again.

Hair or glass edges look unnatural

The depth and outlines estimated from a photo are not exact. Try moving the focus point or lowering the blur. The app cannot fix an out-of-focus original.

Saved format

Photos are saved as JPEG, up to 4096 pixels on the long side, and HDR photos are converted to SDR. Photos saved as new do not keep the original capture date or location. A replaced photo stays the same photo, keeps its capture date and albums, and keeps its original data.
