Photo Censor — Pixelate & Blur
Drop a photo, drag a box over whatever should not be in the shot, pick pixelate or blur. Multiple regions stack. The file never leaves the tab — which is the point when the thing you are hiding is a face, a plate or a document.
Private by design. Your photo is pixelated or blurred on a local canvas — it is never uploaded.

How to censor part of a photo
- Load the image. Click or drop. It is read as a local object URL.
- Drag a rectangle. Each box is one region. Draw as many as you need.
- Pick pixelate or blur and the strength. Pixel size is the mosaic cell. Blur uses a canvas filter.
- Download the PNG. The canvas is flattened locally. Reset regions if you want to start over — the original file is untouched on disk.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the photo uploaded?
- No. Canvas only.
- Pixelate vs blur?
- Pixelate is the classic mosaic and survives a re-encode better. Blur looks softer and can sometimes be partly reversed if the blur is weak — turn the slider up.
- Can I brush freehand?
- Not in this version. Rectangles cover plates, faces and UI chrome, which is most of the job.
Use Cases
- Hide a face or licence plate before you post a photo
- Redact a document screenshot
- Censor a UI that still has production data in it
