Pixelate faces in a photo with the familiar mosaic effect used on TV and in news images. Select each face and it is covered with large pixel blocks, making people unrecognisable while the rest of the photo stays clear.

- Pixelate is already selected – set the strength (block size).

Why Pixelate Instead of Blur?
Large pixel blocks remove detail more reliably than a light blur, so faces are harder to recognise. Blur looks softer and less obvious – choose Blur Face if you prefer that style. For complete removal, use a black box in Censor Photo.
