The basics
Before you share a photo, faces of strangers, license plates or personal data often shouldn't be recognizable. Just drag boxes over those areas and choose Pixelate or Blur.
What it's for
- Hide faces in group photos
- Hide license plates and house numbers
- Cover personal data in screenshots
Good to know
- For text, choose a high strength so nothing stays readable
- You can add several boxes to one image
- For PDFs with sensitive data, use “Redact PDF”
How it works
- 1 Drag your image into the box or choose it.
- 2 Choose pixelate or blur, and the strength.
- 3 Drag boxes over every spot that should become unrecognizable.
- 4 Download the image.
Frequently asked questions
Can pixelation be undone?

Are my images uploaded?
No. With this tool, your images never leave your device.
Is the tool free?
Yes, with no sign-up, no installation and no watermark from us.
