Questions
Is pixelating safer than blurring?+
Only if the pixels are big. Small blocks over text can sometimes be reversed, so make each block larger than a character.
How do I hide a license plate?+
Drag the rectangle frame over the plate and raise the pixel size until the characters disappear.
Can I pixelate several areas?+
Yes. Add Pixelate Image once for each area; every step has its own frame.
Are my photos uploaded?+
No. The photo is pixelated in your browser, and the photo never leaves your device.
