Frequently Asked Questions
How does pixelation work?▾
The image is downscaled to a tiny size (based on block size), then upscaled back using nearest-neighbor interpolation, creating the blocky pixel effect.
Can I pixelate just a region?▾
Currently the entire image is pixelated. For region-specific pixelation, use an image editor.
