 * Would love to have the ability to have Low Quality Image Preview functionality
   in a future update. Specifically the ability to create LQIP for certain sized
   images and also control over the quality of the images as some sizes would require
   better quality then others.

 * This is an interesting feature. We just finished couple test and generated base64
   successfully. [https://www.w3schools.com/code/tryit.asp?filename=G2OYNLKYBS70](https://www.w3schools.com/code/tryit.asp?filename=G2OYNLKYBS70)

 * Thanks, but this is not the method that I am referring to. A low quality image
   placeholder would basically be a very low quality blurred JPEG version of the
   original image.
 * Here is an informative piece of content on the method: [https://blog.imgix.com/2016/06/01/lqip-your-images](https://blog.imgix.com/2016/06/01/lqip-your-images)
   
   And here is a WP plugin that utilizes the concept: [https://humanmade.com/2016/01/18/lightweight-image-previews-in-wordpress-with-gaussholder/](https://humanmade.com/2016/01/18/lightweight-image-previews-in-wordpress-with-gaussholder/)

 * Hi [@zalium](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zalium/), Hai’s base64 image
   is one type of low quality blurred images and with the same feature as you mentioned.
   Do you have any concern by using another jpeg file instead of base64 version?

 * Hi [@stanleylitespeed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stanleylitespeed/)
   and [@hailite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hailite/)
 * OK, I had to view it with throttling enabled to actually see the LQIP. Yes this
   should do the trick quite nicely I think.
 * Thanks.

 * You need to click the `run` button to preview the result and difference.
 * I added the image in your ref to compare. Please check this one: [https://www.w3schools.com/code/tryit.asp?filename=G2PSQN2HU9V6](https://www.w3schools.com/code/tryit.asp?filename=G2PSQN2HU9V6)

 * Yes, but best viewed in developer tools with throttling enabled to see the effect.
 * I think it would be useful to have an option for setting the different qualities
   for generating the base64 images. The default 10 would work for me, but I am 
   sure other users would prefer a different quality.

 * Hi [@zalium](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zalium/) ,
 * We just finished a SVG version LQIP local generator development. After couple
   tests, we found its hard to use LQIP with corresponding size. This is because
   the base64 PNG version is around 200k. SQIP can be just 1.2k. For the placeholder,
   I think its acceptable. How do you think?

 * Hi [@hailite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hailite/)
 * Yes, I think that will be a good solution. Can’t wait to try it out.
 * Thanks.
