How it works
- Drop in your photo.
- Choose pixelate or blur and the strength.
- Drag over each area to hide, then download.
How to use it
Press and drag on the picture to draw a rectangle. When you let go, that area is changed straight away. Repeat for as many areas as you need, and use Undo last area if you slip.
Pixelate or blur
Pixelate replaces blocks of the picture with their average colour. Blur smooths the area. Higher strength makes the effect heavier and harder to undo.
Hide private details properly
A light blur on small text can sometimes be partly recovered with software. For anything sensitive, use a high strength, or cover it with a solid block in another editor.
Metadata
The saved picture is rebuilt from the pixels, so GPS location and camera details from the original are not carried across.
Questions
Is the original changed?
No. You download a new file and your original stays as it was.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Drag with your finger. If the page scrolls instead, use two fingers to scroll and one to draw.
Can I blur the whole picture?
Yes, with the button "Apply to the whole picture".
Is it free?
Yes, with no watermark or sign-up.
