Questions about this tool
Can I pixelate only part of a photo?
Yes. Enter the left and top offsets plus the width and height of the rectangle to pixelate. The complete area must stay inside the source image.
Is pixelation secure redaction?
No. Pixelation is visual obfuscation, not guaranteed deletion. Small blocks, surrounding context, or reconstruction methods may expose details. For secrets, crop the content out or cover it with an opaque block in a suitable editor and inspect the exported pixels before sharing.
Is my image uploaded to pixelate it?
No. The browser applies the mosaic and creates the download locally. Neither the source nor the output image is sent to Peelaway by this utility.
