So I just created a blog on Blogspot. And I'm currently using a simple free blog template from the internet.
You can refer my blog here - https://hariinisayarasa.blogspot.com
Im using the free template from here - https://www.way2themes.com/2020/08/sylva-blogger-template.html
As you can see, you can compare the slider image on my blog is blurry and pixelated compared to the one on the Demo Page here - https://sylva-way2themes.blogspot.com/
Is there any way I can resize my image or any setting that can be done in my template coding so that the slider images are not blurry anymore?
Please let me know if I can provide any code for you so that you can help me solve this problem.
Or you can download the code here - https://www.way2themes.com/2020/08/sylva-blogger-template.html
One of the simplest ways to resize an image in the HTML is using the height and width attributes on the img tag. These values specify the height and width of the image element.
Resizing img with HTML
<img src="https://ik.imagekit.io/ikmedia/women-dress-2.jpg"
width="400"
height="500" />
Resizing img with CSS
img { width: 400px, height: 300px}
From what I've seen, you're using very small raster images.
notice the 'intrinsic size' property
same goes here
Photographs are always saved as raster images. It means that the data of an image is stored in the form of a pixel map - a matrix of squares. If you try to scale the image up, every pixel is also scaled up. Therefore, you lose quality, and the pictures seem pixelated/blurry.
There's no way to keep both the size and detail. Alternatively, you could try to keep the initial size of an image (or at least scale down) - this would, on the other hand, not fill the entire container space.
now check the intrinsic size of one of the images on the demo page
The more scaled image is, the more blurry it gets. The pictures on the demo page have the scale aspect of 2. However, your photo that is 72 x 72px has been scaled up a lot more.
If those photos have been taken by you in higher quality, you might want to use the raw version.

I would like to find out how to present a banner or logo on a responsive design but I can't find a question that is not flagged as bad or likely to be closed. I've tried numerous ways of phrasing the question and none of them are liked. So, I have no idea how to even present this question or even where to begin to look for the answer or how to ask the question. PLEASE, PLEASE give me an idea of how to word this so someone will see my question. I've tried web searches but nothing addresses the issue and I cannot even figure out how to work it.
In case someone sees this, what I am doing is taking a site that was not responsive and had a banner that was 1100 px wide by 110px in height. The trend seems to be to move away from such banners and use logos that are square or round instead or to use text for branding. If I just reduced the size of the banner to 500px wide then the height would proportionally decrease to only 40 or 50px if a percent value was used. That clearly won't look good on a small screen.
Also, if I reduced the image to a more square dimension the image isn't actually resizing by percent values when the CSS background-image style is used instead of an img tag surrounded by div tags. I haven't found a way to control alignment and size using percent values on the background-image property of a container. I could tell my client that we shouldn't use a wide banner in a responsive design but I don't know if that means I am missing an option.
A different image seems to be required on smaller displays using media queries. Can alignment and resizing as percent values be used with the background image CSS style or should different images be served using the img tag?
Lastly, on a high pixel density display tablet or even smartphone serve a large image due to the number of pixels wide being greater than 900px or 1000px? With high-density displays, it seems that even a smartphone could have a width greater than 1000px but that may not look right.
this will size it:
.img-class {
background-image: url('path/myImage.png');
background-size: 200px 200px;
}
first value is width, second value is height, you can also use %, or to scale the whole thing use a single value like for example: background-size: 80%;

queries. Can alignment and resizing as percent values be used with the

the img tag?
Yes as long as you scale it down and not up, or it blurs out.

Just be sure your images are 'retina ready' and that's all, meaning if you want to place on your website a 200x200 px image, create it 400x400 px instead, then using css you force it to always be 200x200, so it will read a 400x400 and resize it to 200x200 making it not blurred on mobile.
Side note: If you have graphic images and not photographs, i recommend you using svg (vector images) now supported on all browsers, that are scalable so retina ready by default let's say, and way smaller in size.
I apologize if this is not the correct community to ask, but I believe this has to do with HTML so I'm asking here.
I need a small banner with credit card icons (21px high).
I made it in PS and resized it to 21px height (auto width), but I wasn't satisfied with the sharpness.
I now load the full image in HTML and using height and width image tag attributes resize it to the same size I did in PS, but the result is much better.
1) Resized with HTML
2) Resized with PS
Chrome developer tool shows that both of the images are the same dimensions.
Why is there such a difference?
Browsers just display it as it would be 21px high, but higher dpi screens may use the full image to make it sharper. As in the screenshot you shared, both rows are actually ~90px high. Height doesn't actually resize the image itself, it just stretchs it to a smaller area.
Tip: Downsizing a large image with the height and width attributes forces a user to download the large image (even if it looks small on the page). To avoid this, rescale the image with a program before using it on a page.
From w3schools
I am designing a site that sells apps. Each product page contains text with screenshots. I'm having trouble controlling the size and behavior of the images.
Each screenshot is a different size and shape - some being tall and narrow while others being short and wide.
My question:
How am I supposed to control the size of these images? Some are perfect at 100%, but some others would be way too big at 100%. So if I set a value in the css, it will be ok for image 1,3,6,9 but not for images 2,4,6,8 (and obvioulsy there are more than 2 types of sizes...).
I tried using max-width, but that obviously failed because if one picture exceeds the max-width, it will be scaled down, while another will not - this produces a funny looking page!
Am I supposed to do local styling for each image in such a case?
And if the answer is that local styling is required here, does that mean that each page needs it's own media queries also to resize responsively?
Thanks.
You can make 5 css class, named .width1 to .width5, having width value from 20% to 100%.
When adding an new image, choose a class that fit your need.
If you need more precision, create a set of 10 class instead of 5 !
Edit : as promised, the code :
.size1{width:10%;}
.size2{width:20%;}
.size3{width:30%;}
.size4{width:40%;}
.size5{width:50%;}
.size6{width:60%;}
.size7{width:70%;}
.size8{width:80%;}
.size9{width:90%;}
.size10{width:100%;}
So the image :
<img class="size2" src="..." />
will be 20% wide.
I've installed Magic Zoom in to my Big Cartel website, the zoom function works fine however the product is not actually zooming in?
http://www.generyanart.com/product/house-by-the-sea this is the website - I was just wondering what i needed to do to fix this issue, as i would like the zoom function to show the detail of the piece!
thanks
There are 2 issues:
1: To zoom an image, one image has to be larger than the other. Your two images are the same size. Look carefully at the href and src here and you'll see they reference the same image:
`<img src="http://images.cdn.bigcartel.com/bigcartel/product_images/142875802/max_h-1000+max_w-1000/House-By-The-Sea-A32.jpg" alt="Image of House By The Sea"/>`
Either make your main image (src) smaller in width/height or make your large image (href) bigger in width/height.
2: You must also fix some CSS. The following CSS rule in your stylesheet is reducing the zoom image to the width of the zoom window.
To display the image at its original (larger) size, add the following CSS:
.MagicZoomBigImageCont img { max-width:none !important; }
3: Not required, but because this particular image zoom is so large, it would look good enlarged to full-screen. That's possible on click if you use Magic Zoom Plus instead of Magic Zoom.
What is the best way to get a smaller version of an image I want to use onto a webpage, but still allow the person to view the full image if they click "view image"? This question could really be broken down into two parts:
Say my image is 900x900px: Is there a way I can display that image at a much smaller size, like 100x100px (so that the browser does not have to load the entire 900px image) but allow the person to see full size image if they click "view image"?
Additionally, what is the best way to take the 900px image, and display it at only 100px? Assuming I can't do this ahead of time with photo editing software, should I use the height and width tags in HTML or in CSS? (It seems like they both resize the image (scale) rather than crop). Thanks
With the usual approach to use the heightand width attributes, the whole image still has to be transferred to the browser.
So if you add a link somewhere (the image itself could be the link), the user is still able to access the complete (900 x 900 px) image.
Regarding image cropping: There is some trickery you can use as outlined in this SO answer.
JsFiddle Demo 1 (the image itself is used as a link to the original full-sized image)
JsFiddle Demo 2 (using the first demo as a base, but this time cropped the image)
Easiest way is to use it as a background to a div and then use the background-sizeattribute. An example would be what I did with my website.
<div id="image"
style="background-image:url(images/Greensburg-Commons-Oblique2.jpg);
background-position:20% 20%;
background-size:600px 800px;">
</div>
Using this method, I was able to take a 3200x2400 photo and scale it down to 800x600 photo. Plus, In my opinion, it's a lot easier to style a div with a background photo than just a plain image and I feel it just does more. Just so you know, background-position changes what part of the scaled in photo you show :)
<div id="image"
style="background-image:url(images/Greensburg-Commons-Oblique2.jpg);
background-size:100% 100%;">
</div>
Also, you could change the background size to 100% by 100% and that way the background will display the full image all the time and will automatically scale down as your window size changes or screen size :). Best for fluid layouts.
well you can set the image as a background of a div and then set the background-size property
#yourDiv{
width:100 px;
height:100 px;
background:url('path/to/your/image');
background-size: 100px 100px;
}
you could set different properties for :hover but you'd need to use javascript to change the properties onclick
You can use a lightbox or with just CSS, but it will resize the page. Now this is a very simple example so don't expect a beautiful display.
HTML
<img src="img.png" class="resize">
CSS
.resize {
width:100px;
height:100px;
}
.resize:hover {
height:900px;
width:900px;
}
Now personally I would use a javascript or just a lightbox. It will look much better right out of the box with minimal adjustments. Just my 2 cents.
