# Use filters
<a name="use-filters"></a>

To use filters, specify a filter from the following table. For example, to blur a JPEG image, enter the following:

```
https://<ApiEndpoint>/filters:blur(7)/<image.jpeg>
```

**Note**  
Some Thumbor filters aren’t supported in the current version of this solution. This might affect legacy users with advanced image request configurations. For notes about Thumbor compatibility and source image storage limitations, see [Backward compatibility](backward-compatibility.md). For examples of filter usage, refer to the [Thumbor documentation](http://thumbor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/filters.html).
