Pixelate to censor or stylise

Pixelation replaces detail with large blocks, giving a retro mosaic look — and, importantly, a reliable way to hide sensitive information like faces, licence plates, or text in a screenshot. Because Mynify processes the image entirely in your browser, the content you’re censoring never leaves your device — which is exactly the point when the whole reason you’re redacting is privacy.

Genuinely removes detail

Unlike a light blur, a coarse pixelation discards the fine detail in the affected area, so obscured text and faces can’t be recovered. Pick a larger block size for anything you truly need to hide.

When to use it

Tip

For a softer, smooth effect instead of blocks, use blur — though for firmly hiding text, coarse pixelation is safer.

Frequently asked questions

Is pixelation good for hiding private info?

A strong pixelation (large blocks) is a reliable way to obscure faces, plates, or text so they can't be read. Use a coarse setting for anything you truly need to hide.

Is my photo uploaded?

No — the effect is applied entirely in your browser; your image never leaves your device, which is exactly what you want when censoring sensitive content.

Does it lower resolution?

The output keeps the same dimensions; the image just looks blocky. The underlying detail in the pixelated area is genuinely removed, which is why it's effective for censoring.
