No. The pixels are read and averaged on a canvas in your browser, so your image never leaves
your own device.
Every pixel is replaced by the average of the pixels in a square around it. A larger radius
averages a wider area and produces a softer image.
This tool blurs the whole image. To hide one region, crop or mask the area first, then blur
the result and paste it back over the original.
Averaging a wide window over millions of pixels takes time. The cap keeps the preview
responsive while still giving a strong softening effect.
Images wider or taller than 2400 pixels are scaled down before blurring so the browser stays
fast, and the output stays smooth enough to use.
A strong blur makes details unreadable, but for anything sensitive use the pixelate tool as
well, because mild blur can sometimes be reversed.
