Pixelate Image
Drop an image and it's pixelated instantly — hide a face, a document or any sensitive detail behind large blocky squares.
or drop files (JPG · PNG · WEBP · GIF · BMP & more)
Pixelating turns part of an image into large, blocky squares — the classic way to hide a face, a document, or any sensitive detail while still showing that something was there.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is pixelation permanent — can the original be recovered?
With strong enough pixelation, no — the fine detail is genuinely destroyed, not just hidden. Light pixelation on high-resolution originals can sometimes be partially reversed, so when in doubt use a stronger setting.
Can I pixelate just part of the image?
This tool pixelates the whole image. To redact one area only, crop that area out, pixelate it, and recombine in a design tool.
