—About Pixelate Image
The Pixelate Image tool reduces an image to visible blocks at an adjustable size, with live preview, undo, redo, and reset. It is used to censor details or apply a retro pixel effect.
Pixelation is a recognisable way to obscure faces or text. Applying it locally is quick, adjustable, and keeps the image off any server.
Step by step
- Drop the image you want to pixelate into the tool.
- Adjust the pixel size; larger blocks obscure more.
- Watch the live preview and use undo or redo to compare.
- Reset if you want to start again, then download the result.
What it offers
- Adjustable pixel block size
- Live preview of the pixelation
- Undo, redo, and reset the effect
- Pixelation done in the browser
Tips for best results
- Use a large block size when censoring; small blocks can leave details legible.
- Pixelate generously over anything sensitive rather than the minimum that looks blocked.
- Work on a copy so you keep the clear original.
