Gaussian vs Pixelate

• Gaussian blur — Averages neighboring pixels for a smooth, photographic blur. Good for backgrounds, depth-of-field effects, and soft censoring.
• Pixelate — Reduces resolution in the selected area to large blocks. The classic censoring look often seen in news broadcasts. Unable to be reversed by sharpening algorithms.

Common Use Cases

• Blur faces for privacy compliance (GDPR, social media).
• Hide license plates, addresses, phone numbers in screenshots.
• Create blurred backgrounds for thumbnails and presentations.
• Pixelate sensitive data in documents or spreadsheets.
