How does this tool work?
Apply blur, pixelation, grayscale, or sepia locally to an image, adjust the intensity, and preview the processed output before downloading it.
The engine uses the browser canvas for the selected effect. Blur, grayscale, and sepia use graphics filters controlled by the intensity value. Pixelation temporarily scales the image down and then enlarges it with smoothing disabled to create visible blocks. The processed image is then re-encoded in the requested output format.
How to use this tool
Add your images
Choose the PNG, JPEG, or WebP files to process from your device.
Choose the effect
Select blur, pixelate, grayscale, or sepia, then set its intensity and the output format.
Download the result
Check the output, then download the generated file or images directly to your device.
Use cases
Graphic styling
Turn a photograph into grayscale or sepia before publishing it or placing it in a mockup.
Creative preparation
Generate a visual variation to compare or pass into another Workspace operation.
Tips and best practices
- All processing runs in your browser, so the images are not uploaded to Bethemesh.
- Keep the source file if you may want to repeat the process with different settings.
- A strong blur can remove fine detail almost completely.
Frequently asked questions
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Decoding, processing, and export run locally in your browser. The files remain on your device during the operation.
Which formats are supported?
These tools accept PNG, JPEG, and WebP images up to the limit shown in the interface and export to the formats offered by each tool.
Can the effect be limited to one region?
In this version the selected effect applies to the full image. For precise masking of a sensitive region, keep the source and use a dedicated editing or redaction workflow.
