Interlaced or progressively rendered images differ from normal images in how they are displayed. Normal or baseline images are typically rendered from left to right and top to bottom, meaning that you cannot make the entire image out until it finishes loading on the page. By contrast, progressively rendered images allow you to get an idea of the entire image before it has completely loaded. Often, when an image is first displayed, it looks out of focus, but as it continues to load, it will become progressively clearer.
This is especially advantageous when viewing images over a slow Internet connection. An interlaced GIF doesn't display its scanline linearly from top to bottom, but instead reorders it so the content of the GIF becomes clear even before it finishes loading.
For example, the GIF viewer may display lines at the top of the image, then in the middle, then at the end, and will continue to fill in the blanks until the image is completely loaded. Many web browsers will use the lines that have been loaded to fill in the empty lines, making it appear as though the image is coming into focus. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes.
Disclaimers for nitpickers: In case of small and medium-sized images the progressive preview of each image is not going to be visible long enough for the user to appreciate it.
Some browsers don't even bother rendering anything until the whole file is downloaded, so it's better to focus on saving bandwidth to get the whole page loaded ASAP. Non-progressive JPEG is a bit more efficient when the files are tiny small thumbnails , but then the savings are tiny, too. Kornel Kornel I disagree entirely. If this question were about storage, this answer would be correct, but it's about the best publishing for images on the web.
TorranceScott on the net, storage size is same as transfer speed. If image is small, there's too little time to notice. In case of PNG the compression difference in compression may be so large that a non-interlacved image may load almost as quickly as its pixelated preview would. Kornel I agree with those particular exceptions. I haven't seen the the png compression threshold you mentioned though so I don't know where that occurs, if at all. From a computer's perspective it's pretty accurate to relate file size and transfer speed.
The user has data to work with faster and can decide to wait for full load if they anticipate that adding value to the experience. TimoHuovinen Currently the best, at least from compression perspective, is to use H. Show 4 more comments. That's not true about JPEG. That happens to me all the time. These points must be useful. TIP: Interlacing is not recommended for small images but is a must if the viewer uses a slow connection This is just a copy from Y answers i thought could help to understand.

When a non- interlaced PNG downloads in a browser, it downloads the image in one pass - from start to finish.
An interlaced PNG downloads as a whole image very quickly, but at low quality, on each successive pass it downloads more of the detail, until the complete image has downloaded. Furthermore, what is the purpose of using interlaced images?
With an interlaced display the picture is created by scanning every other line, and on the next scan, scanning every opposite line. Interlacing allows for a faster refresh rate by having less information during each scan at a lower cost. The interlace lets you see the picture before all the data has been transmitted makes them appear faster and better -looking and gives you the "feeling" that it is being downloaded faster. Interlaced image loads an early degraded version of the whole image as soon as possible and then progressively renders the image to clear state.
Non - interlaced image will load up in tiles showing clear image in each tile as it progresses to load in the image. PNG-8 refers to palette variant, which supports only colors, but is usually smaller in size.
PNG refers to true color variant, which supports more colors, but might be bigger. What is PNG compression? The result is a smaller file that maintains high quality. What is interlacing and non interlacing? In an interlaced monitor, the electron beam takes two passes to form a complete image: it skips every other row on the first pass, and then goes back and fills in the missing rows.
A non-interlaced monitor does the whole job in one pass, tracing each row consecutively. The more compression that's added to a JPEG the worse the quality. Excessive JPEG compression will cause artefacts. Repeated editing and resaving of JPEGs will also degrade the quality.
