Gaussian Blur and Convert to AVIF

Why Gaussian Blur an Image?

Enhancing Visual Appeal

Gaussian blur can be invaluable in enhancing the overall aesthetic of an image. By softening harsh edges and reducing noise, it can create a dreamy, polished look that captivates viewers.

Preparing for Compression

Sometimes, when preparing AVIF images for web use, compressing the image too harshly can lead to visible artifacts. Applying Gaussian blur can serve as a pre-processing step, smoothing out details that might otherwise amplify compression artifacts in AVIF.

Sigma

The amount of blurring that will take place

Radius

Radius should be at least twice the Sigma value, though three times will produce a more accurate result.

The larger the Radius the slower the procesing

Postfix

The filename is the same as the original source input except for the extension

Adds a piece of text to the filename before the period (.)

How does Gaussian blur affect file size?

Using Gaussian blur can potentially result in larger file sizes if the blur is too extreme and detail is lost. Always balance aesthetics with performance.
