Effect

Pixelate

Coarsen resolution into blocky pixels with adjustable size.

Pixelation coarsens resolution into visible blocks, once a limit of early digital cameras and game hardware, later a censorship and style device. Mosaic blur in news broadcasts made the chunky grid familiar to everyone.

Block size is the lever between subtle sampling and full retro game read.
