How do they created this effect?

A few days ago I have visited a page called https://www.canva.com/signup and I really liked the effect that they have created in their homepage.

What do I need to know to create something like that. Regards Diego

I believe it's jquery.

Looks like they have something with canvas going on there. I found a stack overflow topic with some insight into a similar idea: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19953917/fade-pixelate-blurred-image-to-normal-after-mouse-over-using-jquery

Caleb Kester has a great answer, I believe they are using an HTML Canvas with Jquery to create the effect. Here is a similar project on code pen using dots instead of an image so you can get a look at the code. and play with the demo. Post back if you get it worked out. Good luck and enjoy!
