What is Blur & Pixelate?
Upload an image and use brush tools to apply blur or pixelation to specific regions. Ideal for redacting faces, license plates, or private text before sharing.
How it works
We use Canvas pixel manipulation: blur applies a Canvas filter to the painted region; pixelate groups pixels into blocks for a mosaic effect.

Frequently asked questions
Is the redaction reversible?
No — once you download, the blur/pixelation is baked into the image pixels and cannot be undone. Make sure to keep the original.
