[harshjadon9]

### my model field :

    image = ProcessedImageField(
                                      processors=[ResizeToFit(1200)],
                                      format='WEBP',
                                      options={'quality': 10})

You can use GaussianBlur: https://github.com/matthewwithanm/pilkit/blob/2a9ad303e9eea7be33be7f046020d79b918383a4/pilkit/processors/filter.py#L3

@julianwachholz the module seems to not be available

@ericel the latest version on PyPI is from 2017 unfortunately. It means you'll have to install the package from source.

@vstoykov Do you have permissions to push pilkit updates?

1. First you have to create a Django model to represent the image you want to store in the database.

   For example:

   
   from django.db import models
   from imagekit.models import ProcessedImageField
   from imagekit.processors import Blur

class BlurredImage(models.Model): image = ProcessedImageField(upload_to='images/', processors=[Blur(radius=5)], format='JPEG', options={'quality': 90})

2. Then apply these changes by running these commands in terminal:

> `python manage.py makemigrations`

> `python manage.py migrate`

3. Now upload your image via a form that you already have created to store the image into your database take the image from 
    the form and process it for blurring the image:
```python
def upload_image(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = ImageUploadForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
        if form.is_valid():
            blurred_image = BlurredImage()
            blurred_image.image = form.cleaned_data['image']
            blurred_image.save()
            # Additional logic or redirect
    else:
        form = ImageUploadForm()
    return render(request, 'upload_image.html', {'form': form})

This code should be provided in views.py file

New version of pilkit is released with the GaussianBlur processor as suggested by @julianwachholz if you update pilkit you will be able to blur images.
