Pixelate...
The Pixelate effect is used for anonymizing images. As a teacher, I used to pixelate faces of students that didn't return a signed Photo Release Form. If you want to protect the identity of people in your photos, then Pinta is an excellent tool for the job. The Pixelate effect allows you to quickly hide information in images that you don't want to become public.
If you take a lot of screenshots, then you'll probably want hide exposed email addresses before you post your pics online. If you purchased your dream automobile then you'll probabaly want to blur out your vehicle's license plate before making the image public. If you want to show off your house or front yard, I recommend that you distort your address before you post it on social media. Protecting medical papers and bank statements is important too. Pinta makes it easy to protect those confidental items within your images.
Here's the steps to Pixelate an object or several objects in your photos.
