About this tool

Blur or pixelate parts of an image online: box faces, license plates, phone numbers, chats or addresses and hide them with mosaic, blur or a solid cover, then export a new image. Paste screenshots directly; images are processed in your browser and never uploaded.

Typical uses

  • Hide avatars, names and phone numbers before sharing a chat screenshot
  • Pixelate faces and license plates before posting street or camera photos
  • Cover unrelated personal details on an ID or receipt photo

How to use

  1. Upload, drop or paste an image with Ctrl+V. Drag boxes over what you want to hide; add several areas and drag to reposition them.

  2. Choose mosaic, blur or a solid cover for each area and adjust strength. Create the image, zoom in to check, then download PNG, JPG or WebP.

Good to know

Supports JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF (first frame) and BMP up to 30 MB and 40 MP, with up to 200 areas. For small text, passwords or ID numbers use a solid cover; weak mosaic or blur can occasionally be reversed. Exports are re-encoded without the original metadata.

Frequently asked questions

Is mosaic or blur safer?

Both make content hard to read, but at low strength small text can occasionally be recovered. For passwords, ID numbers and other critical details, use a solid cover.

Can I hide several areas at once?

Yes. Drag to draw as many areas as you need. Each can use mosaic, blur or a solid color, and can be moved or deleted.

Does the exported image keep location data?

No. Exports are re-encoded, so EXIF metadata from the original, such as GPS location and camera model, is not kept.
