Free toolPixelate Image

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.

FAQ

How do I hide a phone number in a chat screenshot?
Drag a rectangle over the number, choose Solid or Pixelate, click Apply and download.
Can pixelation be reversed?
Small blocks can sometimes be guessed. To hide text or numbers for good, use larger mosaic blocks or a solid cover.
Can it detect faces or plates automatically?
Not yet; areas are marked by hand for now.
How many areas can I hide at once?
Up to 50 per image, each with its own shape and style.
