Pixel size

Set this value before running the tool.

Very large images can hit the device's memory limit, and output quality depends on the browser's canvas encoder.

Pixelate Photo processes its input in the browser whenever the platform API allows it. Files and values are not uploaded to a server for processing, and the tool does not require an account. For calculations, use the result as a reference and verify important decisions against the source formula or a qualified professional. Read our methodology.
