PIXELATE IMAGE

Pixelate an image with adjustable blocks

Pixelate PNG, JPEG, or WebP images locally with an adjustable block size and inspect the complete result before download.

Turn image detail into visible colour blocks with an adjustable block size, then inspect the full output before downloading.

01

Add an image

Choose a PNG, JPEG, or WebP source and keep the original dimensions available for comparison.

02

Set the block size

This task starts with 12-pixel blocks. Increase the value for a coarser mosaic or reduce it to retain more local detail.

03

Generate and inspect

Check edges, small text, faces, and the actual output format before downloading the pixelated file.

Everything runs in this browser.

Add, drop, or paste up to 12 PNG, JPEG, or WebP images.

Block size controls the effect

A larger block covers more source pixels and hides more fine detail. The best value depends on the output dimensions and viewing size.

Do not promise privacy from appearance alone

Pixelation may still leave a person, plate, or document identifiable from context. Remove or crop sensitive material when stronger protection is required.

When this task helps

Use pixel blocks as a visual treatment

Common questions

Is pixelation reversible?

The exported blocks do not contain the removed fine detail. Keep the source or use Undo before leaving the session.

Does a larger image need larger blocks?

Usually. The same 12-pixel block looks finer on a large image and coarser on a small one, so judge the result at its intended display size.

Is pixelation the same as blur?

No. Pixelation replaces regions with discrete blocks; blur blends neighbouring pixels smoothly. This editor currently provides pixelation, not a blur control.
