Pro Tips for Perfect Pixelation

Master the art of digital blurring with these technical tips:

• Scale in Multiples: For the sharpest "8 bit" look, try to choose pixel sizes that divide evenly into your image width.
• Use PNG for Details: When pixelating logos or icons, always export as PNG to keep those blocky edges razor-sharp.
• Destructive Privacy: Large pixel sizes (30px+) are mathematically impossible to "de pixelate" reliably, making them safer than simple blurring for censorship.
