Frequently Asked Questions
Not from the downloaded file — the original pixels are genuinely replaced, not merely covered over. Use a strong setting: very light pixelation of short, predictable text such as a number plate can sometimes be reconstructed by matching it against candidates.
A solid block, without question. It removes the information entirely rather than degrading it.
Yes — the image is re-encoded from raw pixels, so no metadata carries over. Location data in the original is not in the redacted copy.
Run the tool again on the result. Each pass obscures another region.
Privacy and security
Your file is read directly from your device and processed in your browser. It is never uploaded to a server, so there is no copy for us to keep, share or lose. Closing the tab discards everything. If you want to check this yourself: open your browser’s developer tools, switch to the Network tab, and use the tool — you will see no request carrying your file or input leave the page.
