Can I pixelate only part of an image?

Full-image pixelation is currently supported. Selective region processing is coming soon.

Can pixelation be reversed to reveal the original image?

No. Pixelation permanently destroys detail by averaging pixel blocks. Once exported, the original data cannot be recovered, which is why pixelation is a reliable method for censoring sensitive information.
