About Blur & Pixelate
Before sharing a screenshot or photo, you often need to hide something: a face, a phone number, an ID or bank-card number, a home address, a license plate. This tool lets you paint over those areas and replace them with a mosaic (chunky pixel blocks) or a heavy blur. Crucially, it doesn't just cover the pixels with a layer you could peel back — it destroys the underlying detail, so the hidden information genuinely can't be recovered from the saved image.
Pixelate or blur?
Use a strong mosaic for anything that must stay private — text, numbers, faces — because light blur can sometimes be partially reversed by software, whereas coarse pixelation throws the data away. A gentle blur is fine for softening a background or de-emphasising bystanders. Either way, check the result at full size before sharing: make sure no edge of the sensitive text peeks out beyond the masked area.
