On: Hacking Image Interpolation for Fun and Profit

It seems obvious in insight but I never used this before. An interesting front end trick, though adding gradient backgrounds is something I avoid as it's mostly eye candy

It does, thought i’d never imagined the browser did any interpolation at all !

Neat trick, thanks for the share ;)

They didn't used to, because it slowed down rendering. Then they started blurring stuff which worked well most of the time but not e.g. for retro artists who wanted the pixely look. So eventually they added some CSS properties to control it. https://builtvisible.com/image-scaling-in-css/ https://caniuse.com/#search=image%20rendering
