Frequently Asked Questions
Is my image uploaded to your servers when I pixelate it?
No, never. Image Studio uses advanced client-side technology to process your images directly inside your browser. Your files never touch our servers, ensuring 100% privacy and security.
Can I pixelate only a specific part of an image, like a face or a logo?
Yes! You can use our manual brush tool to paint over specific zones like eyes or documents, or use rigid rectangular and elliptical selection tools to cleanly pixelate targeted areas.
What does the pixel aspect ratio setting do?
While standard pixelation uses perfect squares, the aspect ratio option allows you to stretch the pixel blocks horizontally or vertically. This is ideal for creating unique stylistic textures or matching specific design layouts.
Are there any limits on image size or the number of files I can process?
No. Unlike other online tools that restrict file sizes, require paid subscriptions, or throttle your speed, Image Studio is completely free, supports high-resolution files, and has no daily usage limits.
