About Progressive JPEG
Progressive JPEG files load in multiple passes — the image appears blurry at first, then gradually becomes sharper. This can improve perceived performance on slow connections.
Browser canvas limitation: The HTML5 Canvas API's toBlob() and toDataURL() methods do not produce progressive JPEG output — they always produce baseline JPEG. Progressive JPEG encoding requires server-side tools like ImageMagick, libjpeg-turbo, or Node.js native modules.
This page provides information about progressive JPEG and links to tools that can produce it (server-side).
