Tips for Better Results
Pixelation vs Blur
Pixelation creates a distinct mosaic look that's universally recognized as censoring, unlike blur which can look like a focus effect.
Adjust Pixel Size
Larger pixel sizes (30-50) completely obscure details, while smaller sizes (10-20) provide partial obscuring.
Use Ellipse for Faces
Ellipse shapes work best for pixelating faces as they match the natural oval shape.
Draw Multiple Regions
You can draw as many pixelation regions as needed - each is processed independently.
Use Undo if Needed
Made a mistake? Use the undo button to remove the last drawn region.
Resize After Drawing
Use the Select tool to click on regions and drag their handles to resize them.
