Pixelate Image
Pixelate a picture with a slider that controls exactly how chunky the blocks get. Load an image, drag the block size control, and watch the preview turn into a mosaic in real time. Small blocks give a subtle retro texture while large blocks completely obscure detail, which makes this tool useful for two very different jobs: creating pixel art style graphics from ordinary photos, and hiding faces, license plates, addresses or other sensitive parts of a screenshot before you share it. When the effect looks right, download the pixelated copy as a PNG. The effect is computed on a canvas locally in your browser, so nothing you load here is ever uploaded, and you can re-adjust the slider as many times as you like.
How to use Pixelate Image
- Choose an image from your device.

Frequently asked questions
What does the block size control?
It sets how many original pixels are merged into each chunky block; a larger block size gives coarser, more heavily pixelated output.
Can I use this to censor part of a photo?
Yes, a high block size obscures faces or text well, though for full privacy consider cropping since pixelation can sometimes be reversed on simple content.
Does it produce a retro pixel art look?
A moderate block size gives a mosaic, low-resolution style that resembles retro pixel art while keeping the overall shapes recognizable.
