Pixelate Image
Pixelate an image or censor part of it with an adjustable block size.
Pixelation replaces fine detail with large uniform blocks — useful for two very different reasons: censoring sensitive information (faces, license plates, account numbers) before sharing a screenshot, and creating a deliberate retro, low-resolution aesthetic.
Upload an image, choose how coarse the pixel blocks should be, and download the pixelated result. A higher block size means chunkier pixels and more obscured detail. The whole effect is computed in your browser, so images you're censoring for privacy never leave your device.
