# Radial Blur

![Radial Blur](/files/-M5m_Y62OdFK6fatwLlZ)

This effect is similar to [Directional Blur](/rich-fx-documentation/effects/blur-effects/directional-blur.md) providing an angled blur effect, but it also uses a radius that defines a "clear area" that blends in smoothly with the blurred areas.
