About this tool
Pixelation simplifies an image into blocks of averaged color. Use the adjustable block size for retro artwork, stylized thumbnails, mockups, or obscuring non-sensitive visual detail.
The preview is produced by reducing the working resolution and scaling it back with smoothing disabled, creating crisp-edged blocks.
Pixelation should not be relied on to redact passwords, faces, license plates, or confidential information because the underlying subject may remain recognizable.
Frequently asked questions
How does the pixel-size control work?
Larger values create larger blocks and hide more detail. Smaller values preserve more of the original image.
Does pixelation permanently alter my original?
No. The source file remains unchanged; the tool creates a new PNG download.
Is my image uploaded?
No. Pixelation is rendered locally with your browser canvas.
