pixelation
This term describes both a technical failure and a deliberate design choice. When used to describe an image's quality, it carries a negative connotation, implying a loss of detail, poor resolution, or an unsightly "blocky" effect that disrupts the visual experience.
In a functional or legal context, the term refers to a specific method of censorship. Here, it is a neutral or positive tool used to protect privacy by intentionally reducing the resolution of specific areas, such as faces or license plates, making them unrecognizable.
Meanings
The phenomenon where individual pixels become visible in a digital image, typically resulting in a blocky or jagged appearance due to low resolution or excessive enlargement.
