image-rendering
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since January 2020.
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 true color (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 also has a CSS property counterpart: image-rendering. When both are specified, the CSS property takes priority.
You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:
