What is Pixelation?
Pixelation reduces the resolution of an image, turning smooth details into large, visible blocks. It's widely used in two ways: as a stylish 8-bit retro effect for art, or as a censorship tool to hide identity.
Common Uses
Censorship
Hide faces, brand logos, or sensitive text in screenshots before sharing them publicly.
Retro Art
Give modern photos a nostalgic video game look by simulating low-resolution graphics.
