FAQ

What is Image Pixelate Tool?

An online image pixelation tool. It pixelates images into mosaic with one click — for privacy protection or retro 8-bit pixel art. Input: the image to process. Output: a pixelated/mosaic image, exportable as PNG/JPG/WebP. Everything runs in your browser — no uploads.

Are pixelation and mosaic the same thing?

They share the same principle: converting image areas into color blocks. Pixelation usually refers to stylizing the whole image for art; mosaic usually means covering parts of it for privacy. This tool supports both uses.

Can the original info be recovered after pixelation?

No. Pixelation/mosaic is irreversible — original pixel data is overwritten and cannot be restored by any software, so it is safe for privacy protection.

Does it support batch processing?

Yes. Batch mode lets you upload multiple images at once, apply the same settings and export them together — ideal for processing many screenshots or photos that need redaction.

Can I mosaic only a local area?

Yes. Local mosaic mode supports brush painting: only the selected areas are mosaiced while the rest stays sharp — perfect for covering faces, license plates, addresses and other sensitive details.

Does it support transparent background images?

Yes. PNG export preserves the transparent channel, so transparent areas are not filled. Great for processing logos, stickers and other assets with transparent backgrounds.
