FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my photo uploaded to any server?

No, never. Image Studio uses advanced in-browser technology, meaning all image processing happens locally on your computer. Your photos are never sent to a server.

Can I pixelate multiple faces in one image?

Yes. You can easily apply and configure multiple pixelation masks to cover several faces or sensitive details within a single photo.

What is the difference between circular and rectangular pixelation?

Rectangular pixelation is ideal for censoring documents, license plates, or broad areas. Circular pixelation is designed to fit the natural shape of human faces, offering a cleaner, less intrusive look.

Is there a limit on the file size or the number of photos I can process?

No. Since the tool runs locally in your web browser, there are absolutely no file size limits, rate limits, or daily usage caps.
