Blur faces online — without uploading anything
Pixelateme detects faces in your photo automatically (or lets you draw a box around anything) and blurs, pixelates or covers them in one click. Unlike most "free" blur tools, your image is never uploaded — every pixel is processed inside your own browser, which makes it safe for photos of kids, coworkers, license plates or documents. No account, no watermark, no size games.
This page is part of Pixelateme — the same free tool also auto-pixelates faces and censors anything you draw a box around.
Frequently asked questions
How do I pixelate a face in a photo?
Open the Hide Faces mode, upload your photo, then click “Auto-detect faces” or drag a box over each face. Pixelateme pixelates just those areas — download the result as a PNG.
Can it pixelate multiple faces at once?
Yes. Auto-detect finds and pixelates every face it sees, and you can draw a box over any extra faces or objects to hide them too.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens locally in your browser — your images never leave your device, so it’s completely private.
Is Pixelateme free?
Yes, Pixelateme is 100% free, with no sign-up and no watermarks.
Can I blur faces instead of pixelating them?
Yes. Choose Pixelate, Blur, or a solid Black bar for each selected area, and adjust the strength to taste.
What can I download, and does it work on mobile?
Images export as PNG and videos export as animated GIF. It works in any modern browser on desktop, iPhone and Android.
