Pixelated

A digital image in which individual pixels can be seen in great detail. This can be achieved by either having a very low resolution or by magnifying a tiny portion of the image at a very high level. Pictures are sometimes pixelated on purpose, such as when a person's face needs to be disguised for legal reasons in a publication like a newspaper.
