To pixelate a picture is to turn it into visible little squares of colour. When the squares are large, the image goes unclear — faces blur, details disappear. News programmes do this on purpose to hide someone; a cheap or zoomed-in photo does it by accident. Though actually, the look itself is usually described with the adjective pixelated: a picture consisting of pixels, especially big ones, so you cannot really see it. Pixelate is the verb (pixel + -ate). British spelling may double the l: pixellate. On TV people more often talk about 馬賽克 than this English word.
像素化、打馬賽克（動詞；把畫面弄成看不清楚的小格子）
