Pixelate areas of an image

Censor faces, plates or sensitive data by dragging over the area. With undo, adjustable strength, and nothing leaving your device.

Choose an image or drop it here

JPG · PNG · WebP · GIF · BMP — or paste with Ctrl+V

100% local processing: no image is ever uploaded to any server.

Drag over the area you want to hide and hit “Pixelate selection”: faces, license plates, addresses, card numbers or anything that shouldn’t appear in the screenshot. Apply as many areas as you need, undo the last one, or start over.

Precisely because of how sensitive censored content is, local architecture matters double here: the image with the visible data never leaves your machine. No server-based tool can promise that.

How it works

  2. 2

    Hit “Pixelate selection”; repeat on as many areas as you want.

  3. 3

    Adjust strength if needed and download the result.

Frequently asked questions

Can pixelation be reversed?

The downloaded file keeps no original information for the pixelated areas: pixels are replaced destructively. At a reasonable strength, the information is unrecoverable.

What strength should I use for text?

For text (plates, documents), use strength 5 or more: blocks must be clearly larger than the letter strokes. Zoom in to verify before sharing.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens inside your browser using the Canvas API: your files never leave your device, there are no upload queues, and the tool even works offline once the page has loaded.
