Blur / Pixelate Part of an Image — why it works this way

Redacting part of a photo usually means uploading it to a stranger's server first — a strange trade-off when the whole point is hiding sensitive information. This tool pixelates the selected area directly on your device using the Canvas API, so the original photo is never sent anywhere.

Is my file uploaded? No. Everything happens locally in your browser using the Canvas/File APIs — your file is never sent anywhere.

FAQs

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?+
No. Pixelation happens entirely in your browser.
Is pixelation reversible?+
The pixelation used here is heavy enough that the original detail can't be practically recovered — the same technique used for blurring faces/plates on TV.
Can I pixelate more than one area?+
Run the tool again on the downloaded result to pixelate an additional area.
