Pixelate faces
The classic mosaic on every face, found automatically; the count reported.

How to pixelate faces
- Drop the photo.
- Pick the block size.
- Press Pixelate and download.
What happens to your file
YuNet finds every face; each box, widened for hair and chin, is shrunk to blocks of the size you chose and scaled back with hard edges — the mosaic television uses. The rest of the picture is untouched and the format is kept.
A missed face stays visible; the metadata reports the count, and the box tool on Pixelate part of an image covers what was missed.
Questions
Blur or pixelate?
Pixelation is the more obviously deliberate; blur reads more naturally. Neither can be undone from the picture.
Do it once, not on every form
A form that wants a square JPEG under 240 KB says so on the page. The Fylane extension reads that, fits your photo to it, and puts it in the field — without you working out what 240 KB looks like.
And it keeps the result. The next application that asks for a résumé, a cover letter and a photo fills all three from one tap, each one refitted to what that site accepts.
Your files stay in the browser, encrypted, on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to keep them and nothing is sent anywhere to fill a form.
