Pixelation

In some cases, the resolution of an image or a portion of an image is lowered to introduce pixelation deliberately. This effect is commonly used on television news shows to obscure a person's face in order to protect their privacy or to censor nudity or vulgar gestures, and is also used for artistic effect. This effect is called pixelization. Making pixels easily visible is also a main feature in pixel art which is where the graphics are made in low resolutions for effect. ==Depixelization==

Depixelization removes pixelization from images, attempting to reconstruct the appearance of the original (unpixelated) image. == See also ==
