What Pixelate Image does
Pixelate Image is a browser-based tool that reduces image resolution to create a blocky, pixelated effect. Users upload a photo and adjust the pixel size to obscure specific areas, making it suitable for anonymizing faces or adding a digital art style. The processed output preserves the original dimensions while visually disrupting details within the selected region. Because all processing happens locally in the browser, the original file never leaves the user's device. The site offers a straightforward interface for applying the effect and exporting the modified image.
