Pixelate images FAQ

Answers for people who need to pixelate images quickly and choose safer masking when needed.

Can I pixelate images without uploading them to a server?

Image processing for the editor runs in your browser, so the image file is handled locally for the tool preview and download. The site still uses ads and analytics.

Is it safe to pixelate images that contain passwords?

Use solid redaction for passwords, API keys, ID numbers, bank details, legal data, or medical data. Pixelation is useful visually, but it is not the strongest privacy method for sensitive text.

What can I download after I pixelate images?

You can download a pixelated PNG and a simple grid reference that includes palette information for design or pixel art planning.
