SABlurImageView is available through CocoaPods. If you have cocoapods 0.38.0 or greater, you can install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

pod "SABlurImageView"

Add the SABlurImageView directory to your project.

To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory first.

If you install from pod, you have to write import SABlurImageView.

If you want to apply blur effect for image

let imageView = SABlurImageView(image: image)
imageView.addBlurEffect(30, times: 1)

If you want to animate

let imageView = SABlurImageView(image: image)
imageView.configrationForBlurAnimation()
imageView.startBlurAnimation(duration: 2.0)

First time of blur animation is normal to blur. Second time is blur to normal. (automatically set configration of reverse animation)

If you want to use 0.0 to 1.0 parameter

let imageView = SABlurImageView(image: image)
imageView.configrationForBlurAnimation(100)
imageView?.blur(0.5)

You can use SABlurImageView in Objective-C!

If you install from pod, you have to write #import <SABlurImageView/SABlurImageView-Swift.h> in .m.

If you want to apply blur effect for image

SABlurImageView *imageView = [[SABlurImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];
[imageView addBlurEffect:30.0f times:1];

If you want to animate

SABlurImageView *imageView = [[SABlurImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];
[imageView configrationForBlurAnimation:100.0f];
[imageView startBlurAnimation:2.0f];

First time of blur animation is normal to blur. Second time is blur to normal. (automatically set configration of reverse animation)

If you want to use 0.0 to 1.0 parameter

SABlurImageView *imageView = [[SABlurImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];
[imageView configrationForBlurAnimation:100.0f];
[imageView blur:0.5f];
