Load an image via Interlacing - From low to full resolution - HTML


I am creating a site that uses an image as the background. I hate having the image load from top to bottom as it just makes the page look bad as it is loading. I have seen some sites that load a really low resolution image and then it gradually moves up to the full resolution photo. I would like my site to do the same but I don't know how to implement this. Does this requires multiple image files and more bandwidth? I would like it to use the same bandwidth/take the same amount of time as the traditional way does.


Solution

  • Another option is to use an online image converter as interlaced is the type of file that was saved. Here is one I found: http://njarb.com/2011/08/progressive-and-interlaced-images/ But in Firefox it looks like it doesn't load it interlaced but instead it waits till its fully loaded.
