Frequently Asked Questions
What is image pixelation? Is it the same as a mosaic effect?
Image pixelation turns image details into larger color blocks, making them harder to recognize. A mosaic effect is a common use of pixelation, often used to hide faces, text, license plates, and other sensitive information.
How do I pixelate only part of an image?
Turn on selective pixelation, then use the rectangle tool for regular areas or the brush tool for irregular shapes. Only the selected parts will be pixelated, while the rest of the image stays unchanged.
Will the downloaded image have a watermark?
No. The processed image can be downloaded without a watermark. The tool keeps the original image size as much as possible and only changes the visual effect of the pixelated areas.
Which image formats and file sizes are supported?
Common image formats such as JPG, PNG, and WebP are supported. The current file size limit is 5MB. If your image is larger, compress it before uploading.
Can pixelated content be restored? How should I choose the pixel size?
Saved pixelation usually cannot restore the original details, so keep a copy of the original image. Larger pixel blocks create stronger privacy protection. For sensitive content, choose a larger block size and preview the result to make sure the details are no longer recognizable.
