Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pixelate image effect?
Pixelation divides the image into a grid of large colored squares (like old-school video game graphics), hiding fine detail while being visually distinctive.
How is pixelate different from blur?
Blur creates a smooth, soft transition. Pixelate creates distinct, hard-edged squares. Pixelate is often preferred for censoring text or faces.
Can I pixelate only part of my image?
Yes. Switch to Brush mode and paint over the area you want to pixelate. The pixel block size is controlled by the blur strength slider.
Will pixelating hide my private information?
Yes, at high enough levels. Use a block size of 15+ to ensure text and faces are unreadable.
