Resizing JPGs and PNGs: Photos or vector graphics can be exported as JPGs or PNGs. There are a<br />

couple of options to resize JPGs and PNGs to fit different display sizes.<br />

Scaling: Scaling is nothing<br />

but resizing images based<br />

on screen size. Scaling<br />

raster (bitmap) images may<br />

lead to quality loss. It is<br />

therefore recommended to<br />

<strong>us</strong>e bigger images, and<br />

dynamically scale them<br />

down based on device size.<br />

Cropping: When images are<br />

scaled to a very small size,<br />

details can no longer be seen<br />

and their meaning can get<br />

lost. An effective alternative is<br />

to crop the image around a<br />

foc<strong>us</strong> area that holds the<br />

meaning. This means <strong>us</strong>ing a<br />

larger image, and then<br />

reducing its size by cutting<br />

non-essential areas.<br />

Combination: The third<br />

and final option is to<br />

combine both the above<br />

approaches to dynamically<br />

crop and then scale images<br />

depending on device size.
