SVGImageElement.decoding

The decoding property of the SVGImageElement interface represents a hint given to the browser on how it should decode the image.

Syntax

var refStr = SVGImageElement.decoding
SVGImageElement.decoding = refStr;

Values

A DOMString representing the decoding hint. Possible values are:

  • sync: Decode the image synchronously for atomic presentation with other content.
  • async: Decode the image asynchronously to reduce delay in presenting other content.
  • auto: Default mode, which indicates no preference for the decoding mode. The browser decides what is best for the user.

Examples

var img = new Image();
img.decoding = 'sync';
img.src = 'img/logo.svg';
