The image-rendering
attribute provides a hint to the browser about how to make speed vs. quality tradeoffs as it performs image processing.
The resampling is always done in a truecolor (e.g., 24-bit) color space even if the original data and/or the target device is indexed color.
Note: As a presentation attribute, image-rendering
can be used as a CSS property. See the css image-rendering
property for more information.
As a presentation attribute, it can be applied to any element but it has effect only on the following element: <image>
