Pixelate Part of a Video Online (Mosaic)

Pixelate faces, plates or text in a video — free, no upload.

or

Hide faces, license plates, usernames or anything else with a mosaic (pixelate) filter. Draw one or more areas on the preview, drag and resize them to cover what should not be seen, and set the block size — bigger blocks hide more detail. Keyframe an area to make it follow a moving subject. Everything outside the areas is left untouched. Everything runs locally in your browser using WebCodecs — your file is never uploaded to a server, so it stays private and conversion starts instantly.

How to mosaic video

  1. Drop a video onto the box above, or paste a video URL.
  2. Drag the pixelated area over what you want to hide, and pull its corners to resize it. Add more areas if you need them.
  3. Set the block size — larger blocks hide more detail.
  4. Click Create MP4 to download the censored video.

Frequently asked questions

Can I pixelate more than one area?
Yes — click "Add area" for each thing you want to hide, up to 16 areas. Each one can be moved and resized on its own.
How do I make the pixelation stronger?
Raise the block size. Each block is the average color of the pixels under it, so larger blocks leave less detail to recognize.
Can an area follow a moving subject?
Yes, with keyframes. Open "Advanced · Keyframes", move the playhead and click "+ Key at" at a few moments where the area covers the subject; it moves smoothly between them. Once an area has keys, dragging it on the preview keys it at the playhead too.
Is the video uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser using WebCodecs — your file is never uploaded to a server, so it stays private and conversion starts instantly.
