Frequently asked questions
Is Image Pixelate free to use?
Yes. Image Pixelate is completely free with no account, no trial and no usage cap. Every feature on this page is available on the first visit.
Does Image Pixelate upload your image to a server?
No. Image Pixelate processes your image inside your browser, so it never reaches a DocTools server. That also means the tool keeps working if your connection drops mid-task.
Is there a file size limit?
The practical ceiling is your device's available memory rather than a server quota. Files up to roughly 100 MB work comfortably on a typical laptop in Image Pixelate.
Do I need to install anything to use Image Pixelate?
No installation is needed. Image Pixelate runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on desktop and on mobile, with no extension or plugin.
Can I use Image Pixelate on a phone or tablet?
Yes. The Image Pixelate interface adapts to small screens and supports touch input, though very large jobs are faster on a desktop browser.
What happens to your image when I close the tab?
It is discarded. Image Pixelate keeps everything in temporary browser memory, so closing the tab removes every trace of the session.
