retina.js is a JavaScript library with Sass, Less, and Stylus helpers that automatically serves high-resolution (@2x, @3x) image variants to devices with high-DPI displays. The project is archived and no longer maintained, as modern browsers now handle this natively via srcset, <picture>, and image-set().
Use cases
- serve @2x images to retina displays
- swap img src for high-DPI screens
- generate media queries for retina background images
- support multiple pixel density image variants
- maintain a legacy site that uses retina.js
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy codebase already using retina.js
- supporting very old browsers without srcset or image-set support
When to avoid
- starting a new project - use native srcset, <picture>, and image-set() instead
- any actively developed site needing maintained dependencies
