Pixelate or blur parts of an image

Mark the areas you want to hide with your finger or mouse and choose how to cover them: pixelation, blur or a black bar. Ideal for screenshots with personal details, documents, license plates or faces.

How it works

  1. Choose the image

    Tap the box or drop in the photo or screenshot.

  2. Mark the areas

    Drag over the image to draw a rectangle on each area you want to hide. You can mark as many as you need.

  3. Pick the effect and download

    Select pixelate, blur or black bar, adjust the intensity and download the image.

Which effect is safest

For truly sensitive data, such as account numbers, documents or passwords, use the black bar: it removes the information completely. Light pixelation and blur can sometimes be partially reversed on text and numbers, especially at low intensity. For faces and license plates, strong pixelation is enough and looks more natural.

What to cover before sharing

In chat screenshots: other people's names, profile pictures and phone numbers. In documents: ID number, signature, barcode and machine-readable zone. In invoices and bank transfers: account number and address. In street photos: license plates and children's faces.

Frequently asked questions

How do I pixelate part of a photo?

Upload the image, drag over the area you want to hide to mark it, and download. The area is pixelated by default; you can switch to blur or a black bar.

How do I hide personal information in a screenshot?

Mark each detail with a rectangle and choose “Black bar”, which is the safest method for text and numbers because it leaves no information underneath.

Can the pixelation be undone in the downloaded image?

No, the original can't be recovered from the downloaded image. Even so, for text and numbers a black bar is safer than light pixelation.

Can I hide several areas in the same image?

Yes. Draw as many rectangles as you need. “Undo” removes the last one and “Clear all” lets you start again.

Does it detect faces automatically?

No. Areas are marked by hand, which gives you full control and makes sure nothing is left uncovered because an automatic detector missed it.

Is the image sent to a server?

No. Everything happens in your browser, so nobody else sees the details you want to hide.
