Introduction
Learn how ImagePixelator works, why local-only processing matters, and how to use pixelation, redaction, and export tools safely.
What is ImagePixelator?
ImagePixelator is a browser-based image pixelation and redaction tool. It lets you pixelate an entire image, hide sensitive regions, or generate pixel-art styles in seconds without uploading files to a server.
Local-first processing
All processing happens inside your browser:
- Your images never leave your device.
- EXIF metadata is removed on export.
- You keep control over pixels, blur radius, and mask colors.
Core workflows
- Redaction: Select an area and choose Pixelate, Blur, or Solid Mask for privacy.
- Pixel Art: Apply a global pixel style for retro visuals or Minecraft builds.
- Export: Save in PNG/JPEG/WebP with clean metadata.
When to use it
Use ImagePixelator for screenshots, client documents, research data, social media posts, or any time you need to share visuals safely.
