FAQ
Is my image data safe?
Absolutely. All pixelation happens directly in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your images are never transmitted to any server.
What image formats are supported?
You can upload PNG, JPEG, and WEBP images. The output is always a high-quality PNG file.
How does the pixelation work?
The tool reduces the image to a smaller grid (based on block size) and then scales it back up using nearest-neighbor interpolation, creating the classic pixelated look.
What is the maximum file size?
The maximum upload size is 10MB, which covers the vast majority of use cases.
