PixoatePixelate or blur any part of a photo
Drag a box over a face, name, number plate or ID and censor it with a pixel mosaic or blur — or auto-detect and hide every face in one tap. Pixelation is applied right in your browser, so it stays crisp and instant.
- Select any area to pixelate or blur — no cropping
- Auto-detect and hide every face in one tap
- Applied in your browser · no watermark · free

Tips for the best result
• Pixelate for a solid, un-reversible censor; blur for a softer look
• Raise the strength for faces and IDs so no detail is recoverable
• Add several boxes to hide multiple faces, plates or names at once
About the Pixelate & Blur tool
Redact anything you do not want shared — faces, house numbers, licence plates, ID cards, screen contents or private text. Draw a box over each area and the tool covers it with a pixel mosaic or a soft blur, or detects every face automatically. The pixel-level censoring runs entirely in your browser on a canvas, so previews are instant and the downloaded image keeps its full, original quality.
How It Works
1. Upload the photo you want to censor
2. Drag a box over each area, or tap Auto-detect faces
3. Choose pixelate or blur and set the strength
4. Download the censored photo — no watermark
Perfect For
• Hiding faces before posting to social media
• Blurring licence plates, house numbers and addresses
• Redacting names, IDs and card numbers in screenshots
• Protecting bystanders and children in shared photos
