Frequently asked questions
Which option hides things best?
A solid black box cannot be undone and is the safest choice for text, numbers, plates and addresses. Blur and pixelate look nicer on faces. Use a strong setting, and make the box a little bigger than the thing you hide.
Can blurred text be recovered?
Light blur or fine pixelation can sometimes be partly reversed or guessed, especially for short text. For anything sensitive, use Black box.
Can I hide more than one area?
Yes. Draw as many boxes as you need. Use Undo to remove the last box.
Does the picture get smaller?
No. The saved picture has the same width and height as the original.
Does it remove location data too?
The saved picture is re-created from what you see, so camera and GPS data from the original are not copied into it. You can also check this with the Remove EXIF tool.
Is it free?
Yes. It is free to use, with no sign-up and no watermark.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. HD Resizer runs entirely in your browser, so your images stay on your device. Nothing is sent to a server, and there is no account or watermark.
