FAQ

I heard pixelation can be reversed. Is this safe?

Weak pixelation or blur can sometimes be reversed by matching against known fonts. To prevent that, pixel blocks can’t be smaller than 16px or 1% of the image’s longer side, whichever is larger, and each block gets a little random noise. Blur also pixelates first and then softens. For the strongest protection, use Solid box.

Why can’t I make the strength any lower?

There’s a minimum so the hidden content stays unreadable. It depends on the image size, and the exact value in px is shown below the strength setting.

Can the hidden parts be recovered from the saved image?

No. The boxes aren’t just an overlay — the original pixels underneath are overwritten when you save. Metadata such as location is removed too.

What format is the redacted image saved in?

JPG stays JPG. Everything else (PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP) is saved as PNG. “-redacted” is added to the file name.

Why doesn’t Copy to clipboard work?

Some browsers can’t copy images to the clipboard. In that case, use Download instead. Copied images are PNG.
