How it works

  2. Drag the pixel sliderWatch the pixelation update live on the full image.
  3. Export your PNGFree, instant, watermark-free.

Sometimes you just need an image pixelated — to stylize it, to make a mosaic background, or to abstract a detail. Goldenboy does it with a single pixel-size slider over a live, full-size preview: drag until it looks right, export, done. No upload spinner, no account wall, no watermark.

Because it's a full editor underneath, you're one click from more than plain squares whenever you want it — color quantization, dithering texture, dot or brick shapes, duotone palettes, and 46 grading looks. Start with a simple pixelation and see where it goes.

FAQ

Is pixelation here safe for hiding sensitive info?

Treat pixelation as a visual style, not security — coarse mosaics of text can sometimes be reconstructed. For redaction, fully block out the region instead.

What's the maximum image size?

Any common image loads; free exports render at 1200px on the long edge, and Pro re-renders at true source resolution up to 4096px.

Can I pixelate a GIF or video?

Video clips, yes — load an MP4/WebM and export the pixelated result as MP4.
