How to blur or pixelate part of an image

  1. Choose a JPG, PNG, or WebP image.
  2. Drag a box over the area to hide, choose Pixelate or Blur, and add the region.
  3. Repeat for any other areas, then download the result.

Why use this private photo censor tool?

Your photo stays on your device while the canvas applies the effect. The live preview is the exact image that gets downloaded, so there are no surprises.

Pixelate vs. blur

Pixelate replaces the area with solid mosaic blocks, which is harder to reverse. Blur softens the area while keeping general shapes visible. Both are applied directly to the pixels, not as a removable overlay.

Common use cases

  • Hide faces before posting a group photo
  • Censor a license plate or document in the background
  • Pixelate sensitive details before sharing a screenshot

Frequently asked questions

Are my images uploaded?

No. Reading, blurring or pixelating, previewing, and downloading happen locally in your browser.

Does this automatically detect faces?

No. This tool does not use face detection — you draw a box over each area you want to hide, which keeps it fully private with no model download.

Can I censor more than one area?

Yes. Add as many regions as you need before downloading; each can use pixelate or blur independently.

Can someone undo the blur or pixelation?

No. The effect is drawn directly into the image's pixels, not applied as a removable layer.

Which formats are supported?

You can open JPG, PNG, or WebP images and export as JPG, PNG, or WebP.
