Pixelation is an effect that reduces the resolution of an image, turning smooth color gradients into blocks of solid colors. It imitates the retro aesthetic of 8-bit and 16-bit video games from the 1980s and 1990s. This tool downsamples the image on a temporary low-resolution canvas and draws it back using nearest-neighbor scaling (`imageSmoothingEnabled = false`) to preserve sharp pixel edges.
