Digital Art
Turn the photo into a digital painting or drawing. Art is applied before the pixel grid, so it combines with palettes, dithering, 3D voxels, GIFs and video — or go pure art with 1px blocks.
Area select
Select the parts of the photo to pixelate. Everything outside stays exactly as it was, at full resolution. Great for faces, number plates and screens.
Settings for all areas
Fill colour
Big blocks are what make a face unrecognisable. Each block is averaged, with no dithering.
Runs on your device. The face detector downloads once (a few MB).

3D Voxels
Your pixel blocks become 3D voxels — drag to orbit, scroll to zoom, right-drag to pan. Pixelate & Color settings apply live. (Mask applies to the 2D view only.)

3D Export
Build from scratch
No photo needed — sculpt your own voxel model layer by layer in the 3D Studio.

Video
Pixelate a whole video — blocks, palettes, art styles and post effects apply to every frame, live. Export the result as a real video file. Everything runs locally; nothing is uploaded.
MP4 · WebM · MOV — you can also drop a video on the canvas.
If a format isn't supported here, the other is used automatically.
Plays the clip once while recording the processed frames (+ audio) to a .webm file.
Region pixelate (censor)
Blur out a face or plate: arm the tool, drag a blocky box on the video — only that area gets extra-pixelated. Draw boxes at different times and the region moves between keyframes. Baked into exports.
