About Pixelate Image
A pixelate tool replaces fine detail with large blocks of flat color. This one shrinks the image by the block size you choose, from 2 to 100 pixels, then scales it back up with smoothing turned off, so each block shows the blended color of the area it covers. The effect covers the entire image. There is no way to pixelate only a selected region.
Also known as: Image Pixelator, Pixelate an Image.

Questions about Pixelate Image
Can I pixelate only a face or one part of the image?
No. The effect is applied to the whole picture. To hide one area, crop that part out and pixelate it separately, or use an editor that supports selections.
Is pixelation a safe way to hide text?
Not with small blocks. Lightly pixelated text and numbers can sometimes be recovered by comparing block patterns. For sensitive details, use a large block size or cover the area with a solid color in an editor.
