5 Free Blurred Background sets that would make your app look gorgeous

A beautiful and elegant background can elevate the overall look of an app. Using a blurred image as background helps users in keeping focus on the content and at the same time, it gives your app a beautiful look.

You may be tempted to find backgrounds through google and bing image searches, but by doing so you may not end up with high quality images or images that are free to use commercially. In order to save your time and efforts, we have handpicked some of the best free sets of high quality blurred background images that you can use in your apps.
