FXBlurView is a deprecated Objective-C UIView subclass that replicates the iOS 7 realtime background blur effect on iOS 5 and above, with static and dynamic rendering modes. It also extends UIImage with a method for applying blur to images.

Use cases

  • add a frosted glass blur overlay to an iOS view
  • replicate the iOS 7 realtime background blur effect
  • blur a UIImage programmatically in Objective-C
  • create a dynamically updating blurred background behind content
  • support blur effects on older iOS versions

When to choose

  • maintaining a legacy Objective-C iOS app already using it
  • you need blur effects on very old iOS deployment targets

When to avoid

  • starting a new iOS project - the project is deprecated and unsupported
  • you need Swift or modern iOS blur APIs like UIVisualEffectView
  • you expect bug fixes or updates
