Frequently asked questions

Can I undo a single region?

Use Undo All Regions to clear every selected region and start over; individual-region undo isn't available in this version.

Which effect should I use — blur or pixelate?

Both obscure the selected area; pixelate gives a blocky, clearly-edited look while blur is softer — pick whichever suits your image.

Is my image uploaded anywhere?

No. The effect is applied and the download generated entirely in your browser.
