Frequently asked questions
Can I pixelate just a face and leave the rest sharp?
Yes — draw a selection box over just the area you want pixelated; the rest of the image stays untouched.
Is pixelating reversible by someone else?
Pixelation is a one-way effect — the original detail isn't recoverable from the downloaded image, unlike a simple blur which can sometimes be reversed.
Can I control how strong the pixelation is?
Yes, use the pixelation strength control to make the blocks bigger (more obscured) or smaller (less obscured).
Is this tool private?
Yes. Since everything runs in your browser, the photo — including any faces in it — never leaves your device.
