Pixelate image (censor)
Turn your whole image into big chunky pixels: pick the block size, check the live preview, and download. For a retro look or to make a whole photo unrecognizable.
JPG, PNG, or WebP, everything stays on your device
To hide a name, a license plate or an account number, do not use pixels, which can be reconstructed: there is Cover data in a screenshot, which replaces them with a solid box.
Pixels on the whole photo, not on a detail
Pixelation replaces each area of the image with a single block of its average color, and here it is applied to the whole photo: with large blocks it makes it unrecognizable, for example before using it as a background or a preview. It is not the right way to hide a name, a license plate or a number inside a screenshot, for two reasons. The first is that it takes away everything else too. The second is that pixelated text can be reconstructed: the blocks keep the average color of the letters, and by trying every possible word with the same font and the same grid you find the one that gives the same blocks. To cover a single detail there is Cover data in a screenshot, which puts a solid box on top and replaces the pixels underneath.
Retro pixel-art effect
With small blocks (4–10 px) the effect turns aesthetic: your photo takes on the look of 8-bit and 16-bit video games, perfect for avatars, covers, and gaming-themed posts. The tool draws the image at a tiny size and then scales it back up with smoothing disabled, so the pixels stay crisp and square even in the downloaded file.
