Tip: Increase Pixel size for a stronger mosaic effect. Use Contain to preserve the full image or Cover to fill the output (may crop).

How it works

Upload an image, choose a pixel size, and the tool re-renders the image using large “blocks” to create a pixelation effect.

You can also set output dimensions, choose contain/cover fit, and download the final result as a PNG.

  1. Pixel size: Controls block size (bigger = more pixelated).
  2. Output size: Sets exported width/height in pixels.
  3. Fit mode: Contain preserves the full image; Cover fills the output (may crop).

Common uses

Pixelation is often used as a privacy-friendly alternative to blur, since it’s harder to reverse and keeps layout recognizable.

  1. Privacy: Hide faces, names, addresses, and IDs in screenshots.
  2. Design: Create stylized thumbnails, mockups, and retro looks.
  3. Quick edits: Apply pixelation without installing software.
