Pixelate and censor images online
Upload an image and drag a box over anything you want to hide: a face, a license plate, or a phone number or address in a chat screenshot. Each area can be pixelated, blurred or covered with a solid color, as a rectangle or an ellipse, and the mosaic block size is adjustable. The preview is instant and matches the final result.

Features
Three ways to hide
Mosaic, blur or a solid cover. For sensitive information, a solid cover is the most thorough.
Rectangle or ellipse
Ellipses suit faces, rectangles suit text and plates. Up to 50 areas per image.
Adjustable blocks
Mosaic blocks from 2 to 200 pixels, with one-click 4, 8, 16 and 32. Bigger blocks are harder to read.
Instant preview
Pause after drawing, moving or restyling and the preview appears, with the mosaic grid aligned to the final result.
Stored temporarily, deleted after 2 hours
Your image is used only for this edit. Originals and results are deleted automatically after 2 hours and download links work only for you. Date taken, camera model and GPS location are removed by default.
