About this tool

Select rectangular or oval areas and apply soft blur, mosaic pixelation or solid-color covers without uploading images. Multiple areas can be edited independently on each photo.

How to use this tool

  1. Choose JPG, PNG or WebP images and inspect the preview.
  2. Choose blur, pixelation or an opaque cover; drag on the image or enter coordinates. Add more areas, undo or clear selections.
  3. Check each preview, optionally apply settings to the batch, then download the processed images individually or in ZIP parts.

Features and output

Multiple rectangle or oval selections, adjustable blur and pixelation strength, solid covers, undo, clear, accurate previews, batch processing, original-format or JPEG/PNG/WebP export and next-tool handoff.

When this tool is useful

Soften distracting backgrounds, pixelate portions of photos, hide faces manually or cover confidential details in screenshots before sharing.

Frequently asked questions

Can I blur only part of a photo?

Yes. Drag across any area to select it, or enter percentages for an exact region. You can add up to 50 areas per image.

Is blurring or pixelation safe for sensitive information?

Blur and pixelation can sometimes leave recognizable patterns. Use the opaque cover option for sensitive text, and inspect the final downloaded image. Metadata may also contain private details.

Does this tool automatically detect faces or license plates?

No. You manually select areas. Automatic face or plate recognition is not provided, and your images remain in your browser.

Which images can I use?

JPEG, PNG and WebP are supported. GIF, SVG, HEIC and raw camera files are not supported in this release. Check the decoded resolution limits as well as the file size.

Can I use the result in another tool?

Yes. Select the completed images and choose Crop, Rotate, Convert to JPG, Resize, Compress or Images to PDF. Compatible outputs are passed in the same tab without another upload. The destination’s limits still apply.

Privacy, compatibility and limits

Select up to 100 JPEG, PNG or WebP images: 50 MiB each and 500 MiB combined. Decoded inputs and outputs are limited to 32 megapixels; output sides must not exceed 8,192 pixels. Processing is sequential with a 256 MiB retained-output cap. ZIP parts contain up to 20 results or 64 MiB. Device memory can reduce practical capacity; these are selection ceilings, not a guarantee for every batch.

Images are processed in your browser without sending their contents to an application server. Originals are not overwritten. New exports can change metadata and colour profiles; animated PNG or WebP inputs become one frame. JPEG is lossy and replaces transparency with the chosen background. Download before closing or reloading the page. Clearing the list releases temporary previews and results.
