Front-end developers use it when one image must stay sharp across screens without forcing every visitor to download the largest file.
Produce srcset and sizes for an image. The result stays in your browser, ready to review, copy and adapt without an account or any transfer of your input.
A front-end integrator is preparing a banner that must stay sharp on phones and large screens. They enter photo.jpg and a maximum width of 1200 pixels, then generate the attributes. The code is pasted into the template so the browser can choose. They also prepare the image files at the widths suggested by the output.
Input
photo.jpg
1200The details you type are processed inside your browser to build the responsive markup. No image file is uploaded and no information is sent away. You can copy the result as soon as it appears.
No, it does not change the image file itself. It only generates srcset and sizes attributes from the name and width you provide. Prepare the different image versions with a separate resizing tool.
The browser picks the version that best fits the screen and pixel density. Offering several widths helps avoid sending a large file to a small device. The exact values follow the maximum width you entered.
The srcset and sizes attributes are for image elements, not CSS backgrounds. For backgrounds, use media queries or adaptive CSS techniques. Match the method to how the image is displayed.
