Absolutely! All pixelation processing happens locally in your browser using client-side JavaScript and Canvas APIs. Your images never leave your device and are never uploaded to any cloud server.
Yes! Use the interactive bounding box to select any region of the image. You can resize, drag, and position the box over sensitive faces, license plates, credit card numbers, or proprietary text.

Pixelation replaces groups of pixels with single-color solid blocks, creating a retro mosaic effect that is mathematically harder to reverse. Blurring smooths pixels using a Gaussian kernel, creating a soft, aesthetic look.
We support JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and SVG. Images of any resolution are processed directly on your device.
