Publishing pixel art on the web? Don't let it get blurred and smushed. Apply the `image-rendering: crisp-edges` CSS property. Alternatively, export your pixel art at a higher resolution, so each visual pixel is made of many pixels, minimising impact from scaling and compression. #PixelArt #CSS

Handsum: An LQIP Image File Format
Low Quality Image Placeholders (LQIPs) are very small (both in terms of file size and pixel dimensions) images that load very quickly, providing immediate visual feedback while full-resolution images load slowly in the background. They are small-in-file-size enough that it’s feasible to base64-encode and inline them into a web page, minimizing network round-trips and improving page load times.
