Layer blur in Figma - Cell-by-Cell Formula Trace

Sample Data

This table shows layers in a Figma design file and their assigned blur radius in pixels.

Cell	Value
A1	Layer Name
B1	Blur Radius (px)
A2	Background
B2	0
A3	Image
B3	5
A4	Text
B4	10

Formula Trace

Layer Blur Effect = BLUR(Layer, Radius)

Step 1: BLUR(Background, 0)

Step 2: BLUR(Image, 5)

Step 3: BLUR(Text, 10)

Cell Reference Map

   A           B
1 Layer Name  Blur Radius
2 Background      0
3 Image           5
4 Text           10

Arrows: Blur radius values in column B are used to apply blur effect to layers in column A.

The blur radius values in column B are referenced to apply the blur effect to each layer named in column A.

Result

Layer Name   | Blur Radius | Visual Effect
------------------------------------------
Background   | 0           | Sharp, no blur
Image        | 5           | Moderate blur
Text         | 10          | Strong blur

This shows how each layer looks after applying the blur radius from the table.

The final visual effect on each layer depends on the blur radius. Higher radius means more blur.

Sheet Trace Quiz - 3 Questions

What happens when the blur radius is set to 0?

A Blur radius defaults to 5

B Maximum blur is applied

C No blur is applied

D Layer becomes invisible

Key Result

Layer Blur Effect applies a blur with specified radius in pixels to each layer.
