Before You Generate
- Write the goal in one sentence before you open the tool.

Mistakes to Avoid
- Using blocks too small to hide anything
- Pixelating the entire image when only a region needed redacting
- Assuming pixelation is legally equivalent to a solid mask
- Pixelating and then upscaling hoping detail returns
A 10-Minute Practice Routine
- Two minutes: write the brief for a real task on your list.
- Three minutes: generate and read the result end to end.
- Four minutes: edit - real details in, generic lines out, opening rewritten.
- One minute: save the prompt and note one thing to change next time.
How to Know You Are Improving
Track edit time per result for two weeks. When it drops, your briefs are getting better. When it spikes, the cause is almost always a vague input - go back to the tip about writing the goal in one sentence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is pixelation safe for hiding sensitive data?
With large enough blocks yes - small pixelation can sometimes be reversed by averaging. When in doubt, go bigger or use a solid mask.
Can I pixelate one area only?
This tool applies pixelation to the whole image - crop to the region first for targeted redaction.
What block size should I use?
For privacy, at least 20-30 pixels - bigger is safer. For style, tune it by eye.
Is my image uploaded?
No - pixelation runs entirely in your browser.
