pixellates
Makes image blocky
Pixellates means renders or displays as pixels—the tiny squares that make up digital images.
When an image pixellates, it becomes blocky and loses detail, typically from being enlarged beyond its resolution: The photo pixellated badly when I zoomed in.
Broadcasters pixellate faces or body parts to obscure identity or censor nudity.
Also spelled pixelates.
