The mosaic tool applies an adjustable block pattern to detected faces or any region you draw manually. Use it for an obvious editorial treatment or a geometric visual effect. For privacy work, judge block size relative to the face and source resolution: a dense decorative grid can retain recognizable structure. Increase the blocks, cover the entire identifying area, and inspect the full-size export. For purely creative work, smaller blocks preserve more of the original composition.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the mosaic effect used for?

It can create an obvious editorial redaction or a geometric visual treatment. You can apply it to detected faces or manually selected regions.

Does a mosaic guarantee privacy?

No. Dense, fine blocks may retain recognizable structure. Block size, source resolution, coverage, and identifying context all affect the result.

Can I control the mosaic strength?

Yes. Increase the block size for less retained local detail, then inspect the exported image at full resolution.
