Frequently Asked Questions
When should I use pixelated rendering?
Use pixelated (or crisp-edges) for pixel art, QR codes, screenshots of UIs, or any image where sharp edges matter more than smooth gradients.
What's the default image rendering?
Browsers default to 'auto' which typically uses bilinear or bicubic interpolation—smooth scaling that works well for photos but blurs pixel art.
Will this affect all images?
Apply image-rendering to specific elements. Use a class for pixel art images and leave photos with default rendering. Don't apply globally.
