Pixelating a face hides it behind a mosaic that's harder to reverse than a blur — good for strong privacy. This tool detects faces automatically and pixelates each one in your browser.

Mosaic out faces in a click
When you need clear, strong anonymisation, pixelation reads as 'deliberately hidden' and resists recovery. Automatic detection makes it effortless across whole photos, privately on your device.
Whether you need it once or every day, Pixelate Faces in a Photo keeps the process quick and predictable. Because it focuses on a single task, there are no crowded menus to wade through — you open the page, set what you need, and get your result. That simplicity is exactly why a dedicated image tool beats a heavyweight editor for a job like this.
Everything runs in your browser
Unlike most online tools, Pixelate Faces in a Photo never uploads your image to a server. The moment you choose a file, it is processed right here in your web browser using your own device's power. Nothing is sent over the internet, nothing is stored, and nothing is shared with anyone.
That gives you two real advantages. First, it is private: sensitive documents, ID photos and personal files never leave your computer or phone. Second, it is fast — there is no slow upload or download round-trip, so even large files are handled almost instantly. And it is completely free, with no watermark added to your result and no account required.
