About Pixelate
Browse with your eyes on your terms.
Pixelate covers every picture and video on every website — including YouTube thumbnails, preview frames, and playing videos — with a mosaic until YOU decide to look. Nothing is blocked, nothing is broken: every site works normally, just pixelated.
REVEAL WHAT YOU CHOOSE
• Double-click (or double-tap on touch screens) any picture to reveal it
• Or hover and click the 👁 Show button
• Or Alt+click — works even in fullscreen video
YOU SET THE STRENGTH
• Separate dials for images and for videos, from a light haze to heavy blocks
• A live preview shows exactly what each level looks like
• Changes apply instantly to pages you already have open
STAYS OUT OF YOUR WAY
• Icons, logos, buttons, and vector graphics stay crisp, so sites remain easy to use
• One switch turns it off for a site you trust
• One master switch turns everything off
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no tracking, no analytics
• Nothing about your browsing ever leaves your browser
• Your settings sync through your own browser profile
Works on the modern web: lazy-loaded images, carousels, backgrounds, embedded players, shadow-DOM components, canvas media, iframes.
