About Image Pixelator

Our Image Pixelator tool allows you to create pixelated, mosaic-style images with adjustable pixel sizes. Perfect for creating retro 8-bit art, privacy protection, or artistic effects.

How It Works

The pixelation algorithm divides your image into blocks of a specified size and replaces each block with a single color - the average color of all pixels in that block. This creates the characteristic blocky, pixelated appearance.

Common Uses

  • Privacy Protection: Blur faces or sensitive information
  • Retro Art: Create 8-bit or 16-bit style images
  • Artistic Effect: Add a mosaic or abstract look
  • Game Design: Create pixel art assets
  • Social Media: Unique visual style for posts
  • Thumbnails: Create distinctive preview images

Pixel Size Guide

  • 2-5px: Very subtle, maintains most detail
  • 5-10px: Noticeable pixelation, good for privacy
  • 10-20px: Strong pixelation, retro game style
  • 20-30px: Heavy mosaic effect
  • 30-50px: Extreme pixelation, abstract art

Tips for Best Results

  • Start with a higher resolution image for better quality
  • Experiment with different pixel sizes
  • Larger pixel sizes work better for simple compositions
  • Smaller pixel sizes preserve more facial features
  • Consider the final use case when choosing pixel size

Privacy & Security

All image processing happens entirely in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to our servers, ensuring complete privacy and security.

Supported Formats

Upload images in JPG, PNG, GIF, or WebP format. Download your pixelated image as PNG to preserve quality.
