Pixel dissolve

A pixel dissolve replaces a scene through blocks or tiles rather than a smooth fade. It reads as digital, but still graphic and controlled when the block size and direction are deliberate.

When to use it

Use it when the product story involves transformation, generation, rendering, or a screen becoming a film.

Common mistakes

Using noisy random pixels; dissolving too slowly; letting the effect look like a compression artifact.

How Impractical uses it

Impractical supports pixel transitions as a first-class joint style. They give AI-render moments a native visual language without resorting to generic sparkles.
