CSS properties - image-rendering

image-rendering property

- specifies the type of algorithm to be used for image scaling. This property has no effect on images that are not scaled.

CSS syntax : image-rendering: auto | smooth | high-quality | crisp-edges | pixelated | initial | inherit;

Property values:

auto : let the browser choose the scaling algorithm. This is default

smooth : use an algorithm that smooth out the colors in the image

high-quality : same as smooth, but with a preference for higher-quality scaling

crisp-edges : use an algorithm that will preserve the contrast and edges in the image

pixelated : if the image is scaled up, the nearest-neighbor algorithm is used, so the image will appear as being composed of large pixels. If the image is scaled down, it will be the same as auto

initial : sets this property to its default value.

inherit : inherits this property from its parent element.

JavaScript syntax: object.style.imageRendering="pixelated"
