Image Blur / Pixelate

When to use Image Blur / Pixelate

You're about to share a bug report screenshot with the vendor's support team, but the screenshot includes a customer's name and email address in the corner. Upload it, choose pixelation, dial the block size until the text is unreadable, and download the redacted version. Gaussian blur gives a smooth, photographic softening — good for background defocus effects — while the pixelation mode creates a mosaic of square blocks, which many privacy guidelines treat as stronger redaction. Both effects are applied directly in the browser using a canvas filter; your image never leaves this tab. The preview updates in real time as you drag the intensity slider, so you can find the right level before you download.

• Pixelate a customer's email address before sharing a screenshot in Jira
• Blur a license plate in a property photo before listing it on Zillow
• Soften a background in a product photo to draw focus to the subject

About this tool

Need to obscure a face, a license plate, or a piece of sensitive information in a screenshot before you share it? Upload the image, choose between a smooth Gaussian blur or a block pixelation effect, dial in the intensity, and download. Blur runs locally in your browser — no upload required — which matters when the photo contains personal data or confidential information. The effect applies to the entire image; for selective area blurring, a dedicated editor is a better fit. Preview updates in real time as you adjust the slider.
