Frequently asked questions

How does Pixelate Image work in the browser?

Pixelate Image uses the HTML5 Canvas 2D API — the same rendering engine every web browser ships with. Your image is decoded into a pixel buffer, transformed in memory, and re-encoded to PNG or JPEG when you download. No server involved.

Which formats can I pixelate?

Pixelate Image accepts PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, and BMP inputs. Output defaults to PNG (lossless) or JPEG (smaller size) depending on the operation.

Will Pixelate Image lose quality?

Pixelate Image preserves pixel data exactly when the target format is lossless (PNG, WebP-lossless). Lossy targets (JPEG) accept a quality trade for smaller size.

What's the maximum image size Pixelate Image can handle?

Pixelate Image handles images up to about 50-megapixels on a typical laptop (roughly 8000×6000). Above that, browser memory becomes the bottleneck.

Is Pixelate Image safe for private photos?

Yes — nothing uploads. Your image is decoded, transformed, and encoded entirely in browser memory. Close the tab and there's no trace anywhere.
