  • On-device only

    Compression and conversion run in the browser — pixels never leave your phone or computer.

  • No photo upload

    During processing the file body does not go over the network. Save mobile data: you are not shipping megabytes to someone else’s server.

  • No ads

    We do not show ads and we do not accept your files. We physically never see your photos.

  • We don’t store photos

    We do not save images on a server or in the cloud. Open, process, download.

How it works

Your photo stays in browser memory and is not sent to our server during compression. Opening the site still downloads the page as usual. For visit stats we may use Google Analytics: page, device type, button clicks — not file names or pixels. Language choice may be remembered in the browser. Analytics cookies are Google’s; you can limit them in browser settings. You can also press Offline in the header to cache this language’s tool pages and engines on your device; your files are still not uploaded.

Select the area to hide — blur or pixelation appears at once. Ideal for chat screenshots and document photos. Processing stays on your device — the unblurred original is never sent or stored.

Adjust strength with the slider. When it looks right, download the file.

The saved file has no service metadata — the same local privacy promise as the rest of PixLocal.

For techies

Output is encoded in the browser (Canvas API → toBlob); EXIF/GPS segments are not copied into the new file. Check: open DevTools → Network while processing — only site static assets (HTML/JS/CSS) load; your image body is not uploaded to our origin.

FAQ

Is there automatic face detection?

No. You mark areas yourself — simpler and fully offline.

Are originals uploaded?

No. Everything stays in the tab.

Can I mark several areas?

Yes. Draw multiple boxes — the effect applies to each immediately.
