Blur / Censor Image — frequently asked questions

Blur or pixelate?+

Blur looks softer; pixelate (mosaic) is the classic censor look and is harder to reverse.

Can the blur be undone?+

A strong blur or pixelate is not practically reversible, which is the point.

Do you upload my files to a server?+

No — every tool here processes your files entirely on your device, and nothing is uploaded to a server. The only exception is the AI tools, which send the extracted text (not the file) to Claude to do their work.

Is there a file size limit?+

There's no artificial limit we impose, but since processing happens in your browser, very large files (500+ MB or 1,000+ pages) are limited by your device's memory rather than by us.
