What Does Pixelation Mean?
Pixelation is the term used in computer graphics to describe blurry sections or fuzziness in an image due to visibility of single-colored square display elements or individual pixels. It mostly occurs with non-vector or raster-based images or with images which are resolution dependent due to the number of pixels per inch of the image being low. For a good quality image, pixelation must be avoided or minimized.
Techopedia Explains Pixelation
Pixelation mostly occurs when resizing of the raster or non-vector images are enlarged to a point where individual pixels can be observed. In other words, pixelation occurs when the pixels are stretched to a point beyond their original size. This in turn causes the fuzziness or blurry sections in the image.
