Pixelation (n.) The visual effect where individual pixels become visibly noticeable in a digital image, often due to enlarging an image beyond its original resolution. In mobile photography, pixelation can occur when heavily cropping a photo or when viewing images at sizes larger than their native resolution. While higher megapixel counts in modern smartphones have reduced this issue, understanding pixelation helps photographers make decisions about image sizes for printing or digital display.
