How to draw a blurry circle on HTML5 canvas?

by

I’d strongly suggest against blur algorithms unless you are blurring some already-existing drawing that is complex.

For your case, just draw a rect with a radial gradient.

  var radgrad = ctx.createRadialGradient(60,60,0,60,60,60);
  radgrad.addColorStop(0, 'rgba(255,0,0,1)');
  radgrad.addColorStop(0.8, 'rgba(228,0,0,.9)');
  radgrad.addColorStop(1, 'rgba(228,0,0,0)');

  // draw shape
  ctx.fillStyle = radgrad;
  ctx.fillRect(0,0,150,150);
