→Frequently asked questions
- How do I pixelate faces in a photo?
- Upload your image and faces are detected and pixelated automatically. Adjust the pixel size if needed, then export.
- Does it pixelate every face in the image?
- Yes. The AI finds all faces in the photo, including small faces in group shots and crowds, and pixelates each one.
- How do I make the pixelation stronger?
- Raise the pixel size slider. Larger blocks hide facial features more completely.
- What does the expand slider do?
- It grows the pixelated area past the edge of each detected face, so hairlines, ears and outlines are covered too.
- Should I pixelate or blur faces?
- Pixelation gives an obvious censored look with visible blocks. Blur is softer and more natural. Try Blur Faces for a subtler effect.
- What file formats can I export?
- You can export as PNG, JPEG, WebP, TIFF, BMP, or HEIC.
- Is this tool free to use?
- Yes — completely free, no account needed. Your images are processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded to a server. Downloads have no watermarks.
