Pixelation can create a deliberate retro treatment or reduce fine visual detail. Its look depends almost entirely on the size of each pixel block.
Start with the outcome you need
Small blocks retain the original shape; large blocks turn the image into an obvious mosaic. Pick the effect based on where the image will appear.
Make the important choice before exporting
Try the final image at its published size. A block size that looks subtle on a large monitor may look much stronger on a phone.
