Blur & Pixelate Image

Overview

Blur, pixelate, or cover a whole image or only the areas you select. The editor runs locally in your browser, supports multiple rectangular or elliptical selections, and exports a newly flattened PNG or JPEG without copying the original image metadata.

Best for

• Blurring a whole photo for a background or creative effect.
• Pixelating faces, text, or selected screenshot areas manually.
• Covering passwords, credentials, or sensitive text with an opaque solid color.
• Creating a flattened sharing copy without the source metadata.

Not for

• Automatic face, object, or private-information detection.
• Legal, compliance, or irreversible-redaction guarantees.
• Animated images, PDFs, video, batches, or editable layered project files.

How it works

1. Choose, drop, or paste one JPEG, PNG, or WebP image.
2. Apply blur, pixelation, or a solid cover to the whole image or selected areas.
3. Draw rectangles or ellipses, then move, resize, undo, or compare with the original.
4. Copy a PNG or download a newly flattened PNG or JPEG.

Limits and privacy

Images are limited to 20 MB and 50,000,000 pixels. Blur and pixelation only hide details visually and are not secure redaction. Use an opaque solid cover for passwords, credentials, and sensitive text, review every covered area, and remember that this tool does not detect faces or private information automatically.

Common uses

• Blur an entire image before using it as a background.
• Blur or pixelate one face manually without uploading the photo.
• Hide names, account numbers, or messages in a screenshot.
• Add an opaque cover over sensitive text before sharing.
• Remove source metadata by exporting a flattened image copy.

Useful facts

• Tiny Work Tools processes the image locally in the browser after the page loads.
• Selected-area edits can use rectangles or ellipses and are flattened into the exported bitmap.
• PNG can preserve transparency, while JPEG uses an explicit background color and removes source metadata.
