BlurHash
Business Profile
Core Value Proposition
BlurHash provides a compact representation of an image placeholder that can be decoded on the client to display while the real image loads.
Target Customer
{"Developers building web and mobile apps who need image loading placeholders","Backend engineers who generate BlurHash strings alongside images","Frontend/mobile developers who decode BlurHash strings to render placeholders"}
Key Differentiator
Short, portable blurhash strings (20-30 characters) that can be stored in JSON and decoded on clients across platforms, with lightweight library support for multiple platforms.
Implementation Timeline
Immediate value once encoder (backend) and decoder (client) integrations are implemented; no long lead time implied
Pain Points
- 1Displaying visually appealing placeholders instead of empty grey boxes during image loading
- 2Avoiding storing large thumbnail data or placeholder images in databases or payloads
- 3Need for cross-platform, easy-to-port placeholder decoding across web and mobile clients
Key Features
- 1Encode an image into a BlurHash string (approximately 20-30 characters)
- 2Store the BlurHash string alongside the image (e.g., in a JSON object or database)
- 3Client-side decoding of the BlurHash string into a small placeholder image rendered on a canvas
- 4Cross-platform compatibility with libraries available for multiple programming languages
- 5Lightweight, easy to port to new languages
Target Customer Industries
Client Results
- 1Improved perceived performance and user experience by showing a meaningful placeholder during image loading

- 2JSON-friendly and easy to store with image data
- 3Cross-platform libraries and decoders available
- 4Reduces reliance on large thumbnail data for placeholders
- 5Turns an image loading delay into a visually engaging experience
