How do I pixelate an image online?

To pixelate an image online, upload your file to our free image pixelator. Choose 'Full Image' or 'Selective' mode, adjust the 'Block Size' slider to control the level of pixelation, and download the final mosaic-blurred photo.

Can I blur faces in photos?

Yes, you can easily blur faces in photos. Select 'Selective' mode, choose either the 'Blur' or 'Pixelate' style, and paint directly over faces. You can also use our 'Auto Censor Faces' button to detect and mask faces automatically.

What is the difference between blur and pixelate?

Pixelation partitions the image into large square blocks (mosaic effect) by averaging local pixel colors. Blurring applies a Gaussian smooth filter that blends adjacent pixels together. Both methods effectively conceal sensitive information.

Can I pixelate photos on mobile?

Absolutely. This online pixelation tool is fully responsive. You can upload photos from your mobile device, use touch-drag gestures to paint masks or draw rectangles/circles, and download the censored image directly.

Is this pixelation tool secure?

Yes. This is a secure image pixelation tool operating entirely client-side. Your photos are processed in your browser memory and never uploaded to remote servers, meaning your privacy is 100% guaranteed.

Can I censor sensitive information?

Yes, our tool is an advanced image privacy editor designed to censor sensitive details. You can cover bank details, license plates, and documents with solid blackout bars, mosaic filters, or Gaussian blurs.

Do I need software to pixelate images?

No software, extensions, or signups are required. You can pixelate image without software directly inside any web browser, making it a fast and secure alternative to heavy desktop editing suites.

Can I selectively pixelate parts of an image?

Yes. With the **Selective** mode, you can paint pixelation exactly where needed using an adjustable brush or drag-draw rectangular and circular shapes, leaving the rest of your image completely untouched.

Does pixelation reduce image quality?

Pixelation only reduces details in the areas you choose to redact. The unmasked regions of the image retain their full original resolution and sharpness during export.
