Responsive Images Implementation
- Provides different image resolutions for different device pixel ratios
- Good for retina and high-DPI displays
- Browser automatically chooses the best version
- Width-based Responsive Images:
- Provides different image sizes for different viewport widths
- Uses sizes attribute to help browser choose the right image
- More flexible than density-based approach
3. Art Direction with Picture Element:

- Complete control over image presentation
- Can combine with srcset for more flexibility
Recommended Image Sizes: For best compatibility
- Mobile: 320-480px width
- Tablet: 768-1024px width
- Desktop: 1200-1600px width
- Large screens: 1920px+ width
