Pixelate Image: what the result contains

Pixelation hides detail; it isn’t secure redaction

Pixelation is not a secure redaction method for sensitive information.

When Pixelate Image isn’t the right endpoint

For confidential document data, use a redaction workflow that removes or rasterises the underlying content rather than relying on a visual effect.
