What does Cubify do?
Cubify replaces image detail with large square color blocks, creating a pixelated, geometric look.
How is Cubify different from blur?
Instead of smoothing pixels, Cubify groups them into solid color blocks with sharp edges.
Can I control the block size?
Yes. You can adjust how large or small the cubes appear.
Does Cubify work on videos?
Yes. The effect runs in real time on both images and videos.
Can I combine Cubify with other effects?
Absolutely. Try combining it with color grading, noise, or glitch effects for stronger visuals.
How do I pixelate an image into blocks in Photoshop?
Photoshop's Mosaic filter gives you one cell-size slider. The Photoshop plugin applies Cubify to a layer in Photoshop 2024 and later, with block size adjustable on the full-size layer rather than in a thumbnail.
