What Causes Pixelation When Enlarging Photos?

Your photo is made up of a grid of tiny squares or “pixels.” Pixelation is when an image is low quality and you can see the edges of the individual pixels. When a low-resolution or compressed photo is enlarged beyond its intended size, the pixels are stretched. Each pixel becomes more visible and has a jagged, blocky appearance.

Use these simple tips to prevent pixelation when taking pictures:

  • Use a high-resolution camera
  • Avoid digital zoom, move closer to your subject instead
  • Use additional light and avoid low-light settings

As technology advances at a rapid rate, better camera technology becomes more affordable and accessible. Ultimately, a better camera is the best way to prevent pixelation when taking pictures.
