Example

In the Node editor, set the node tree to compositing in the header and check the Use Nodes checkbox. Add an input Image node and an output Viewer node. Connect the Input node to the viewer node and check the Backdrop checkbox in the header. Open an image you would like to pixelate using the open button on the image node. This image should now appear in the backdrop. Now add two scale nodes between the input and output Add ‣ Distort ‣ Scale. Change the values of X and Y to 0.2 in the first scale box and to 5 in the second. The background image will be unchanged.

Now add a Pixelate node between the two scale nodes.

Note

You can use Alt-V and V to zoom the backdrop in and out respectively.
