Hide faces, numbers, or screen details with a blocky mask.
Upload the photo that needs a hidden region.
Select or define the region that should be pixelated.
Apply the effect and download the redacted output.
I built it for privacy scenes where you need to hide a tile, number, face, or screen area.
The effect is stronger than a blur when you need a clear content removal pattern.
This is useful for documents and screenshots where the original content should not remain readable.
The workspace is simple enough to keep a redaction pass from becoming a larger design task.

Formats, processing, and practical limits for this tool.
Pixelation is a visual masking approach. This is designed to make a region unreadable, not to reconstruct or recover the hidden details from the same image.
Straight answers about this tool — privacy, formats, limits, and how processing works.
No. You choose a rectangular region (x, y, width, height). Only that area is pixelated; the rest of the photo stays sharp — useful for redacting faces or text.
Set pixel size from 2 to 256. Larger values create bigger blocks and hide more detail. The live overlay previews the region before you convert.
The server clamps the rectangle to the image bounds, so oversized regions still process safely without failing the request.
Preview is browser-side. Convert sends the region settings to the server, which returns a new file with a _pixelate suffix.
Same utility caps as other tools: 15 MB per image and 6000 pixels max on either side.
