Redact images safely — in your browser
Need to share a screenshot with an account number visible, or a photo with a stranger in frame? Draw a box over anything sensitive and Pixelateme censors it with pixelation, blur, or a solid bar. Because processing is 100% client-side, the uncensored original never touches a server — the safest possible way to redact an image. Free, no signup, no watermark.
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.
