What Pixelate Image does
Pixelate Image is a browser-based tool that reduces image resolution to create a blocky, pixelated effect. Users upload an image, select a specific area, and adjust the pixelation level to blur or obscure parts of the picture. The processed result can be exported as JPEG, PNG, or WebP without requiring an account or adding a watermark. It is designed for quick privacy masking, artistic styling, or anonymizing backgrounds while keeping the main subject intact.
