Frequently asked questions

Can pixelation hide sensitive areas?

Yes, a large block size makes the area unreadable, which is the standard way to censor faces and license plates.

How large should the block size be?

For censoring, use a block size large enough that the subject is unreadable. For pixel art, a smaller block keeps the image recognizable.

Can I pixelate only part of an image?

Crop the sensitive area first, pixelate it, then combine the pieces, or apply the effect to the whole image when every detail must go.
