Frequently asked questions
Is my image uploaded?
No. The regions are blurred or covered in your browser, and the image never leaves your device.
Which effect is safest for passwords, names or account numbers?
Solid box. It replaces the pixels completely, while blurred or pixelated text can sometimes be reconstructed.
Can each region have a different effect?
No. The selected Effect and Strength apply to every region. For mixed effects, export once, load the result and apply the second effect to the other regions.
Can I process several images at once?
No, this tool edits one image at a time, and loading a new image clears the regions. To pixelate a batch, or paint over areas with a brush, use Image Mosaic.
Are there keyboard shortcuts?
Yes. Click the image so it has focus: Delete or Backspace removes the selected region, the arrow keys nudge it (further with Shift), and Esc clears the selection.
Does the rest of the image lose quality?
Only the marked regions change. By default the file is saved again in its original format; choose PNG under Output if you want no compression loss at all.
