Frequently asked questions
Why is pixelation effective for privacy and redacting data?
Pixelation averages all colors within each grid block into a single solid tone, completely destroying alphanumeric details, barcodes, and identifiable facial features.
Can I choose the size of the pixelation blocks?
Yes. An intuitive slider lets you adjust block sizes from fine 4px mosaic grids to chunky 64px retro tiles.
Does this run client-side without sending uncensored files to a server?
Yes. This is crucial for privacy: your unredacted document or photo never touches a remote server; the mosaic is baked directly into the canvas on your device.
