Pixelate

The Pixelate layer pixelates whatever content is pumped into it.

Common layer properties
Pixelate layer properties

All Effect layers take their source from other layer types - either content or generative - by use of an arrow. Linking two layers with an arrow defines the arrowed from layer as the source, and the arrowed to layer as the destination. If you have an arrow between a content layer and effect layer, it is said that the content layer is being 'piped in' to the effect layer. For more information on arrows, see the compositing layers topic.

To draw an arrow between two layers, hold down ALT and left click & drag between the source and destination layer.

Pixelate layer and editor

The Pixelate layer supports the use of Arrows, allowing content layers to be piped into the Pixelate layer. For more information please see the sub-chapter Composing layers using Arrows.
