Questions

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything runs in your browser using the Canvas API — the file never leaves your machine, and the tool keeps working if you go offline after the page loads. There is no account, no queue, and no server-side copy to delete later.

Can pixelated text be recovered?

Sometimes, yes. If an attacker knows the font and the set of possible values — as with a card number or a licence key — they can render every candidate, pixelate each, and match. Use a solid block for anything that actually needs to stay secret.
