pixelator
Detail removal filter
A pixelator is a device or software effect that deliberately reduces image resolution, replacing fine detail with visible blocky squares.
Television news uses pixelation to obscure faces or license plates: The witness's face was hidden by a pixelator.
In image editing, the effect can be applied for censorship, privacy, or retro aesthetic purposes.
