Actually not always, there is a script that can recover text from mosaic'd screenshots if the font and pixellation technique is known. I just use a fake mosaic – the easiest way is to paste a bitmap of non-confidential text from elsewhere in the screenshot and then apply the filter.

Thanks for that.

I'm glad I use really huge pixels though. Would be hard to crack these:
