Frequently Asked Questions
What pixel sizes are available?
You can adjust pixel size from 2px to 50px. Smaller sizes create more detail, larger sizes create more blur.
Is this good for hiding faces?
Pixelation can reduce visible detail, but it should not be treated as a guaranteed anonymization method. Use a strong enough setting and review the processed result before sharing.
Can I customize the effect?
Yes, the pixel size slider lets you adjust the effect from subtle to extreme.
Is my image kept private?
The pixelation effect itself is produced with browser-based image processing.
What formats are supported?
We support JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP, and TIFF formats.
Does pixelation reduce file size?
File size can change after pixelation because the image pixels are modified and the result is encoded again. The final size depends on the source image, effect strength, dimensions, and output encoding.
How to pixelate an image
Upload an image and adjust the pixel-size control to choose how coarse the effect should appear. The browser groups image detail into larger visual blocks, updates the preview, and prepares the processed result for download.
Browser-based processing
The image effect is produced with browser image and Canvas processing. The preview lets you inspect the result before using the available download action.
What the effect changes
Larger pixel blocks hide more fine detail, but pixelation should not be treated as a guaranteed method for permanently anonymizing sensitive information.
Tips for better results
Start with a clear source image and compare the preview with the original before downloading. Stronger effect settings can intentionally remove or alter visible detail, so choose the setting according to the result you need.
