What Is an Image Pixelator?

An image pixelator enlarges individual pixels in a region or across the whole image, creating a blocky, mosaic appearance. It is commonly used to hide sensitive information such as faces, licence plates, or personal data in screenshots.

ToolPop lets you define the pixel block size, so you can apply subtle softening or heavy censorship depending on your needs.

ToolPop vs OS Screenshot Markup Tools

OS screenshot tools offer a blur brush, but the result varies and can sometimes be reversed. ToolPop's hard-pixel mosaic is more visually definitive, making it clear that the area is intentionally obscured.

Tips

• Use pixelation to anonymize faces in photos for privacy
• Larger pixel sizes create more dramatic blur effects
• Perfect for censoring text or sensitive details in screenshots
