When to pixelate
Pixelation is the quickest way to redact a photo: blur faces of bystanders or children, hide license plates, mask screens with sensitive info, or censor parts of a screenshot — all before posting. Pair it with EXIF stripping for full privacy.
FAQ
Can I blur just one area? The tool pixelates the whole image; for full control, crop to the area first, or use it to redact screenshots. (Region-select pixelation is on the roadmap.)
Is it private? Yes — everything runs locally; your image never leaves your device.
