BUILDING WEBSITES FOR RETINA (HiDPI) DEVICES Vinay M www.artminister.com
The web’s primary design principle is universality... it should be
accessible from any kind of hardware that can connect to the Internet: stationary or mobile, small screen or large. — Tim Berners-Lee
Pixel Density (PPI) of Devices Windows: ~96 DPI Mac: ~72
- 120 DPI Retina MBP: 220 DPI
Pixel Density (PPI) of Devices Chromebook Pixel : 239 PPI
HTC Jbutterfly Pixel Ratio: 3 PPI: 440 Samsung SIV Pixel
Ratio: 2 PPI: 441 iPhone 5 Pixel Ratio: 2 PPI: 326 Mobile Devices
PPI (Pixels per inch) 320+ PPI 240 PPI 160 PPI
120 PPI Extra HiDPI Baseline for mobile devices
CSS Pixels 568 x 320 Device Pixels @2X iPhone5: 1136
x 640
Non-Retina HiDPI
High DPI • Greater pixel density • Physical Resolution is
higher (2x) • Content Resolution is constant • Content Scale is higher (2x)
Device Independent Pixels • = CSS Pixels • CSS Pixels
= Device Pixels/device-pixel-ratio
What’s the problem IMAGES Images are not sharp on HiDPI
devices
How do we target devices • CSS • Javascript •
Built-in browser features • Server side delivery of images
CSS: device-pixel-ratio USE IT NOW
CSS: device-pixel-ratio • Pros – Downloads the right image based
on pixel-ratio • Cons – No support for <img > – High DPI device will download large image on Low Bandwidth connection – Multiple Image versions
CSS: IMAGE-SET • Only Supports Background Images • Chrome and
Safari support ONLY CHROME & SAFARI, POLYFILL
Browser features • Srcset • Polyfill: https://github.com/borismus/srcset-polyfill/ No browser support
yet. But its in the specs. http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/srcset/w3c-srcset/ POLYFILL
<picture> • Still in the W3C first working draft •
Polyfill: https://github.com/scottjehl/picturefill Source: http://responsiveimages.org POLYFILL
Other Image Tweeks • Background-size: • Compress 2x images –
Webp: https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/
Javacript • Window.devicePixelRatio
window.matchMedia • Media Queries in JS https://hacks.mozilla.org/2012/06/using-window-matchmedia-to-do-media- queries-in-javascript/ SAFARI, CHROME,
FIREFOX MOBILE
Server Side • CMS (Wordpress) • http://www.resrc.it : – Delivers
the right image based on the screen size – Bandwidth Detection
What if everyone has a HiDPI screen • Ultra High
Definition (UHD) – 4k TVs – 8K - 7680×4320 Resolution • vw & vh units – 1 vw = 1/100 of viewport width • 2X the images everywhere ?
Physical Units ? • Very hard to distinguish between devices
– iPad 2 and iPad Mini – Phone to 7’’ tablets – 7’’ tablet to 10’’ tablet • Elements across devices are not of the same physical size – Use <button style=“width: 2inch;”> ? • Safari/Chrome does not support @media screen and (min-resolution :320dpi)
To Consider for HiDPI • Eliminate Images + Use CSS3
• Web fonts for icons • SVG • Use image-set and srcset • Use Viewport units – vw, vh
