What it does
Automatically adapt your existing website images for mobile devices. No mark-up changes needed. For use with CSS3 Responsive Designs.
Adaptive Images detects your visitor's screen size and automatically creates, caches, and delivers device appropriate re-scaled versions of your web page's embeded HTML images. No mark-up changes needed. It is intended for use with Responsive Designs and to be combined with Fluid Image techniques. Why? Because your site is being increasingly viewed on smaller, slower, low bandwidth devices. On those devices your desktop-centric images load slowly, cause UI lag, and cost you and your visitors un-necessary bandwidth and money. Adaptive Images fixes that. This approach was inspired by Filament Group's experiment , which had some problems . You may like to see a video explaining why adapting…from adaptive-images.com
