Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I pixelate multiple areas at once?
Currently, this tool allows you to select and pixelate only one rectangular area at a time. For multiple areas, you might need to process the image, download it, and then upload the result to pixelate another area.

What image formats can I upload?
JPG (JPEG), PNG, and WebP formats are supported.

What format is the output image?
The output image with the pixelated section is saved as a **PNG** file to maintain the quality of both the original and pixelated parts, and to preserve transparency if present.

How does the Pixel Block Size slider work for the selection?
It determines how large the square pixel blocks will be within the area you selected. Larger values create a more heavily pixelated/censored effect.

Is this online pixelation tool safe and private?
Yes. It uses Cropper.js and HTML5 Canvas, running entirely in your browser. Your image is never uploaded to any server.

Is this tool free?
Yes, it's 100% free to use.
