All Clear: Log4j Vulnerability Does Not Affect Gyazo and Other Services by Nota
We're happy to share that all web services provided by Nota including Gyazo, Scrapbox, and Helpfeel are not affected by the recent Apache Log4j vulnerability (CVE-2021-44228).
Essentially, this is a critical vulnerability in a tool used to log data by many web sites. It has a high potential for abuse when sites are not updated and secured.
In the case of Nota, we wanted to let you know that we have confirmed none of our services are affected by this vulnerability. Keep reading to learn more about each of our service's status and to get information from official sources about the vulnerability.
All three of our services have some integration with each other, so we're letting you know about all three.
Gyazo
Some middleware (a type of internal feature) used in the service had a dependency on Apache Log4j, but we have confirmed that it is not affected by the vulnerability.
In addition, the various Gyazo clients such as Gyazo for Windows, Gyazo for iOS, etc. do not use Apache Log4j and are not affected by the vulnerability.
Scrapbox
Again, some middleware used in the service itself had a dependency on Apache Log4j, but we have confirmed that it is not affected by the vulnerability.
Helpfeel
This vulnerability does not affect Helpfeel because it does not use Apache Log4j.

We've made some updates to the supported browsers for Gyazo (including Gyazo Teams.) These updates are based on recent announcements about the retirement of Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge moving to Chromium technology in particular.
What's new
Current support for each OS and browser has been clarified. See below.
The version of each OS is not specified, and the most recent up to date version is assumed.
Only the latest versions of Microsoft Edge (MS edge) based on Chromium will be supported.
Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) is no longer supported. If you are using an unsupported browser including IE 11, please switch to using a supported browser.
Fully supported web browsers
The currently supported browsers and operating systems are shown below. Note that this table refers to the latest stable version of each web browser.
Image viewing
The way Gyazo behaves in unsupported browsers has changed, including Internet Explorer 11.
When you access an image page (any Gyazo page with a link like this https://gyazo.com/eb1339b2ef4e93e0d1e51766523de9ff ), you will be redirected to the direct image link.
As a result, you can still view images, but you will not be able to view the /captures page or to see and edit the image details.
If you are affected by this change, you'll need to start using a fully supported browser.
Gyazo applications
If your operating system is out of date or is not supported you may not be able to upload, view images, or use other features of the Gyazo website or applications for Windows, macOS, Android, or iOS.
It may be hard for us to provide customer support in these cases. We apologize for the inconvenience, and ask that you use a supported operating system as well as browser.
Changes to IE11 and MS Edge support
For some time now we have informed people on our help page that we do not recommend the use of unsupported browsers, especially IE11. However, we know some people continued to use IE11 and we continued to develop support it as much as possible while making modifications as necessary.
However, we have now stopped all updates for IE11 except for vulnerabilities. The latest features and user experience are no longer supported. Also note that Microsoft has recommended migrating to Edge since 2018.
We have also discontinued development for the older versions of MS Edge with the release of the new MS Edge based on Chromium technology in January 2020. Chromium is the core browser technology behind Google Chrome, Brave, and other major browsers.
The newer version of MS Edge is available here.
Safari support is unchanged
We will continue to support Safari with the latest stable version of mac OS only. This may not include the default version that ships with Mac OS, so please update Safari to maintain full support.
More to come
We always have asked you to use the latest browsers. While we did our best to support older browsers, sometimes this resulted in increased development costs and prevented us from providing the best experience using the latest browser features.
In light of this situation, as well as with the news from Microsoft about retiring Internet Explorer 11 and the release of the Chromium version of Microsoft Edge, we have made the decision to stop supporting these older browsers.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and ask that you please use a modern browser when using Gyazo such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. Gyazo uses the latest web browser features, including PWA (Progressive Web App) technology for uploading through our mobile apps.
We will continue to make use of the latest web browser features to improve our service for you.

Meet PlaceRebuilder, Gyazo Explore winner and creator of Reason 2 Die in Roblox
Today we have an interview with Andreas AKA PlaceRebuilder, an independent game developer working on Reason 2 Die, a popular game made with Roblox. He recently won our grand prize by sharing Gyazo game captures that got the most reactions within one month.
Sharing game moments with Gyazo takes seconds, not minutes, and it can increase your followers plus keep them engaged. See what’s happening in Roblox, League of Legends, and Fortnite on Gyazo Explore.
And now, on with the interview.
Can you tell me a little about your background? Are you studying or working right now?
My name is Andreas but I go under the alias of PlaceRebuilder. Sorta like Neo, except instead of being a super cool Kung-Fu fighter, I do games on a kids website. At the moment I’m not ‘actively’ studying, I’m on a break. I do some exams here and there and might jump back in later full-time.
I’m currently developing the game Reason 2 Die: Awakening. A Roblox zombie shooter game that’s been sort of a franchise ever since I was a kid. I created the first version over 10 years ago and today’s version ‘Awakening’ has been under development for about 4 years.
Which apps do you use every day / couldn't live without?
Roblox. Literally would be flipping burgers at McDonalds unless I had discovered how to make games on that site.
Gyazo I probably COULD live without but it would make the progress of sharing current development much more boring. I would only post pictures on my twitter, not fancy gifs.
Why do you think Robloxians use Gyazo to share so much?
It’s a super easy tool to fast record your screen without having to save 14GB of .avi footage on your computer like Fraps. Then easily getting a link to share with anyone is just perfect!
What do you like most about roblox? Is there something special about it compared to other games?
The simplicity and ease of use is the reason I got engaged in making Roblox games. I would be interested in making unity games as well, but there’s something about having your custom-made character available in almost any game that gives Roblox the charm that other game platforms don’t have.
My PlaceRebuilder character is clean and iconic. Being able to play a completely different game and still keep my character appearance is one of the best parts of Roblox.
My roblox character, PlaceRebuilder:
What would you like to tell Gyazo users and game fans about the game you’re working on? Can you share any details about the future of the project?
Oh boi, my favorite part of this whole interview!
How would I best describe Reason 2 Die? It started off as a fan-made ‘Left 4 Dead’ game, hence the name Reason 2 Die. Besides just shooting zombies we’ve had several holiday events like Halloween and Christmas in which unique maps and Quests are added and one-time-available mounts and costumes can be obtained.
Reason 2 Die is primarily a blocky zombie shooter but occasionally I find some funny random item to add into the game that otherwise wouldn’t fit a conventional post-apocalyptic genre. One example of this is the Christmas toy plane that could be acquired during the Christmas Event 2019.
Or the Freedom flag for sale during Thanksgiving
These don’t necessarily help with completing the objectives but flying a toy plane far above zombie hoards is still such a joyful feeling!
The future of Reason 2 Die is found in new players. Right now I’m reworking the gameplay, stats and contracts as well as adding a fancy tutorial headsup to teach everyone how to play with ease.
We have some events like ‘Summer Event 2020’ coming up, but primarily I want to focus on developing a fun campaign-driven gameplay. We’ve had like 13 events (according to our wiki) and I’ve really enjoyed them all but this year I’m going to focus on gameplay instead.
What are some challenges you have with your project?Anything Gyazo could help with?
It’s sometimes difficult to record with Gyazo because if something happens in-game then don’t have time to open Gyazo, select the area to record and then start recording. By the time you’ve done that the thing you wanted to record is already gone.
Be sure to check out Gyazo Replay for reliable in-game capturing.
If you could add one feature, what would you add to Gyazo and why?
I’d like Gyazo to have an option to pre-select the area you wish to record, then choose (with a key) when to start and stop recording. That way you could easily record highlights of your gameplay without getting headshot by a sniper for standing still trying to open the GIF program.
Nice idea! I'll pass that on to the team.
If you look back to when you started playing Roblox, where did you think you would end up? What would be a dream or perfect result for you?
Back when I started it was just for fun, there wasn’t even an option to make any money out of it. Then I became a broke student and heard that you could make some money from Roblox games and I came back and started creating games again.
I think the perfect result would be when I have over 100k players online and I’m top popular aswell as top earning game on Roblox. It’s not so likely to happen but a man can dream, ok?
Go for it. You can get there if you keep working and moving forward.
Is there anything you would like to say to the Gyazo Team, Gyazo users, or the gaming community in general?
I want to say thanks for the chair, it’s really flexible and my previous chair was super old and hurting my back. It’s always amazing to win a contest you didn’t know you signed up for!
And a special shoutout to my community, your support makes R2DA developing fun :)
That’s all for our interview. What gaming chair did he pick?
With $400 gaming gear to chose from he picked the Omega 2020 Stealth Gaming Chair from Secret Lab:
Congratulations to PlaceRebuilder and I hope it was interesting for you out there reading to see how one game developer is using Gyazo to engage fans and build his brand.

New easy trimming lets you cut video and GIF clips to perfection
When you capture clips sometimes they are too long or don’t get to the point right away. Nobody has time for that.
Cut to the best part in seconds with easy trimming. Start using it in one click, on all Gyazo video pages. No extra apps, no extra steps, no time wasted.
This is one of many features included only with Gyazo Pro so upgrade now to make your screen clips really shine. If you haven’t downloaded the Gyazo screenshot app yet, do that first.
How does easy trimming work?
Capture a screen clip with Gyazo Replay or with Gyazo GIF.
After the video uploads, go to the new page and in the top bar click the trim button.
Move the yellow bar to the start and finish time you want then click trim.
...and you’re done. Your new clip will be shown while the original is still saved so you can go back at any time to make new clips.
People love short, focused video clips.
Next time something interesting happens you capture it casually and later trim down to the best parts. Viewers will surely appreciate you saving their time.
This is a clip I trimmed to the moment of my first #1 finish in Fortnite. It took me less than a minute to capture, trim, and share it.
Cut right to the good stuff in games and apps.
With all the interesting ways to do things, all the exciting highlights, and all the fun that happens, it’s a shame nobody ever sees most of those moments. Your friends and followers will love seeing the best parts you capture right away.
Speed is key to success.
When sending and receiving a message faster is better. When easy triming is used with full HD capturing and new audio recording included with Gyazo it's a powerful new combo for fast screen sharing.
Yes, Gyazo is safe to download and use. Ok, but why?
There have been zero viruses, spam, or malware since the day the Gyazo Windows and Mac apps first launched. Gyazo’s services have top-notch security and are trusted by leading companies and millions of people.
Want to know all 7 reasons? Read on to get the details.
7 points that make Gyazo safe
1. No viruses, spam, or malware.
The Gyazo desktop apps on Windows and Mac have never had a virus, spam, or malware. When you download Gyazo the app does not include any other installers or add-ons so you don't need to worry about getting spam or malware.
Gyazo is a free, focused, and lightweight app.
There have been false positive virus warnings from some security apps but these mistakes were corrected quickly after contacting the companies making these apps.
Gyazo is trusted to be virus free by people around the world as well as leading tech companies in the US and Japan.
Gyazo uses secure connections with strong SSL encryption to protect data transfers, storage, and web pages.
As one example of a recent security update, an extra verification step was added to prevent account access from suspicious IPs or locations. This means Gyazo user accounts are now protected even if the password is leaked by a separate app or service where it was re-used.
What’s more, all internal systems used by trusted staff to manage accounts have two-step verification and restricted access. The Gyazo development team continuously improves security and reacts to technology changes with bug bounties and regular security reviews.
3. Strong data access control, unique in the industry.
Every Gyazo page link has 16^32 possible combinations so they can't be randomly guessed or discovered. Contrast that with the short links used by Lightshot or Imgur which are surprisingly easy to guess and not private at all.
16^32 is 34,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 unique IDs
That means no one can see Gyazo captures unless the link is shared with them. See more details here in the post Can Gyazo be used In a Company Securely?
Also, with a Gyazo Pro or Gyazo Teams account, image-specific passwords can be added for further access control.
4. No sale of personal data to third parties. And what about ads?
Gyazo does not sell personal user data to third parties.
Only an email address is required in order to provide account registration. You may choose a username but it does not need to be your real name.
Neither email addresses nor any other user data are provided or sold to third parties so you don’t need to worry about getting spam email.
On other websites or apps Gyazo’s advertising partners may collect and aggregate your personal data to target ads shown on Gyazo. However, you can use an ad blocker or ad privacy settings in your browser to control this. If you upgrade to Gyazo Pro all ads are removed, including for people who view your captures.
5. All payment data is protected with the best security possible.
For Gyazo Pro and Teams all payment information is processed securely by world-class payment providers Stripe or Paypal and is stored separately on their servers. This separation adds an extra layer of security between your data and any potential threats.
Both Stripe and Paypal have the best possible data security which you can read more about on their security pages: Stripe security and Paypal security.
6. World-class hosting and transfer security.
Gyazo’s web experience is built on services provided by some of the largest and most secure technology companies in the world, notably Google Cloud Services and Cloudflare.
There are few companies in the world that can claim to have better data hosting or transfer security than these two. They both use the best available encryption and data security practices.
7. Is Gyazo made by a trustworthy company? Where does the name ‘Gyazo’ come from anyway?
The name ‘Gyazo’ is a play on the Japanese word for ‘image’ which is ‘gazō’ or ‘画像’ in kanji. It is officially pronounced ‘Gyah Zoh’. Hear the audio
Gyazo has been continuously operated since its start by Nota. You can visit the Nota corporate site to learn about the company mission, services, and team.
Nota, Inc. is a registered US corporation that has offices in Japan and the United States with many happy individual and business customers around the world.
In conclusion, yes, Gyazo is quite safe.
Hopefully after reading this article you feel confident to download the Gyazo app and use it with peace of mind.
If you have any other questions you can read more about safety, privacy, and security on the Gyazo GDPR page or you can always get a specific answer by sending a quick message on the Gyazo contact page.
Like what you see? Download now.
Gyazo is safe, secure, and easy to use. Use it to capture and share screenshots, gifs, and replay clips when you see a moment you want to keep.
Get the free screenshot app
Thanks for reading and for a general security tip, remember to always use a long, unique password wherever you create an account!
Use it to capture moments in games, voice chats, on stream, and make how-to guides with your voice. In a few seconds you can capture HD video clips with beautiful clear audio and share in every app.
Sound capture will be rolling out to all users over the next few days but you can get it now when you download the newest version of Gyazo.
Gyazo Replay captured from Risk of Rain 2.
How easy is it to capture with Gyazo Replay?
Simply press Ctrl+Shift+F or click the gamepad icon to launch the app and get ready. To capture, push the same Ctrl+Shift+F and you’ll clip the last 7 seconds of sound and on-screen action (or up to 30 seconds for Gyazo Pro users.)
Note: Gyazo Gif will also let you capture new gifs and videos with sound in the future. It’s in development already.
How do I record my microphone? Are there more options?
When you capture with Gyazo Replay it records any sound on your PC including any apps, music, and your microphone if you are listening to it.
To record your microphone when you capture, go to the Windows menu -> Sound -> Recording -> Microphone -> Properties -> Listen -> click "Listen to this device." After you're done capturing you probably will want to turn this off again so you don't hear your own voice being played back.
To turn sound recording off for Gyazo Replay you can uncheck the box in the Gyazo settings panel. Open Gyazo settings by looking at the Windows notification area at the bottom right corner of your screen -> Right click the Gyazo icon -> More options -> Gyazo Replay -> Click the box next to "Record Audio."
Whenever you share a Gyazo Replay with sound your viewers can adjust the volume or mute it as usual.
Share what you see and what you hear
Hit the Replay shortcut when you want to capture interesting moment in your next game or livestream. Use it to capture quick how-to guides explaining how to use an app, explain what's happening on screen, or simply to make fun little videos.
Together with sound and full HD picture quality now you can share exactly what you're experiencing in seconds. Whether it's something to laugh about, something to be shocked by, or simplay a beautiful tune, you can grab all the sound coming from your PC and cut out all the extra steps.
Capturing magic
Sound for video captures was one of our most requested features and honestly we’re so happy we were able to deliver it. Feel free to request something you want added and we’ll always discuss it in the team and, if it makes sense, we’ll add it as soon as we can.
We’re doing this because you shouldn't miss a moment whether you're capturing a fun game, a financial graph, or a fantastic graphic design.
Adding audio capture is another step on our journey to make Gyazo a magically simple and easy to use capturing service.
As always, follow us on twitter or facebook, and contact our support ninjas directly at gyazo.com/contact with any support needs or to share feedback.
Dark mode is here. Now your captures can shine like the moon against a dark sky. The dark theme has been applied to the image page and also we have changed the navigation bar from our classic blue to a dark grey on all pages.
Why did we go with dark mode?
Because it looks cool?
A dark theme makes viewing captures easier on the eyes, especially when you are in the middle of a late-night session on your computer. At any time of day it provides a nice contrast and draws more focus to your captures.
As a bonus it also makes your screen use less power, extending your battery life and lowering the power bill.
What’s happening in the future with Gyazo?
We are working to give you the most simple and enjoyable way to capture and share your on-screen moments. Whether it’s screenshots, GIFs, or replays, in the end we want to show off your captures in the best possible way.
We hope you have fun, save time, capture more screen moments, and enjoy dark mode.
Your comments can decide where we go from here.
Tell us your question and comments and we will always discuss with the team. We’re just about to announce one of the most requested features in our history.
We're always available @gyazo on twitter and you can email us directly from gyazo.com/contact

Mobile image pages are now Double Faster™ with AMP and no mobile ads
When I’m scrolling through twitter and tap a link to a page I want to see that page quickly. And when it loads slowly It's like slamming on the brakes. And it’s even worse if my phone has bad service.
Now Gyazo mobile pages display faster. Much faster.
To speed up page loading and streamline the experience we’ve added AMP technology and removed mobile ads. We still show ads on desktop to support some of our costs but we'll be looking at new options and ways to replace ads completely.
We may reintroduce mobile ads when they don’t impact page loading but right now the mobile page is super lean and streamlined. Like a cheetah.
See here:
See your gyazo images and videos on a simple, clean page.
Mmm faster screenshot viewing when I’m on my phone. I love that.
See it in action here
We added AMP technology for blazingly fast loading.
Removing mobile ads helps speed up loading but it also allowed us to implement Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) which displays the page even faster.
If you want to nerd out a little bit you can read about AMP here. Basically it makes pages load faster on mobile by caching them in advance when they are linked from major sites like twitter or google.
So next time your friend links Gyazo on twitter, tap it with the confidence that you can see the screenshot fast.
Faster + Faster = Double Faster ™
Double faster. That’s grammatically correct, right? Let’s use that as the title.
Well, we need to explain a few more details so how about this: "Goodbye Mobile Ads, Hello AMP: Mobile image pages are now Double Faster™" (That’s not a real trademark for all you legal scholars.)
I’ve gotta go fast.
Ok, that's about all for this short post and now i've gotta go.
Well...now that they load so fast I guess I have time to look at one more capture. Just one.

Free Gyazo Replay for Windows and HD Gyazo GIF for all
With Gyazo Replay you can capture fullscreen HD video replays as easy as pressing the shortcut. And Gyazo GIF quality is now HD up to 1080p so you can capture in beautiful detail.
If you've never used Gyazo or Gyazo GIF, it's as simple as pressing the shortcut and selecting the area you want or your whole screen. After you capture it uploads and copies the link so it is ready to share.
Gyazo Replay lets you capture the action right after it happens.
After launching, the app sits in the background ready to go. With a press of the shortcut keys it captures full screen and uploads so you're ready to share what just happened right away.
It's available free for all Windows users, and with Gyazo Pro you go from 7 to 30 seconds of capture time as well as removing the Gyazo mark from the corner of your replay videos.
Gyazo GIFs and videos are now HD quality by default.
The HD quality is stunning when you share video clips, but you can always get the GIF in HD as well from the image page share menu. You can go to the task bar, click the icon, and click settings to adjust the quality level to match your system performance.
Gyazo GIF is free with a max resolution of 1080p for up to 7 seconds, or up to 60 seconds for Gyazo Pro subscribers. Note: To enable Full HD 1080p instead of the default HD 720p, go to the taskbar > right click the gyazo icon > click settings > click more options > adjust the max resolution.

Introducing Gyazo Replay: Capture the Last 30 Seconds In-Game and Share Instantly
Interesting things happen all the time in games but by the time you think about sharing a short moment it's already gone by.
Now with Gyazo Replay you can capture and share the last 30 seconds of on-screen action seamlessly so you’ll never have to miss the moment again.
It’s crazy fast: hit the hotkeys (Ctrl+Shift+F by default) and the replay uploads, the link is copied, and you're ready to share or just keep playing.
Gyazo Replay is available now with Gyazo Pro
If you've already got Pro, your app should have auto-updated and a new shortcut created already. If you don't see it yet you can download the new version here.
Grab replays without interrupting play
Gyazo Replay cuts out all the extra steps. No game-blocking overlays, no tedious file management, no complex processes, and no expensive hardware.
Replays are ready-to-share 30 second .mp4 clips in 1080p HD at good framerate so you can see every detail.
How does Replay capturing work?
Launch Gyazo Replay and you'll be ready to capture the last 30 seconds at any time. When you press the hotkeys it will capture and start uploading then copy the link when done, playing a sound to confirm success.
Replay is optimized to use a modest amount of CPU and ram so on most modern computers you can still play games just as smoothly while it's running. To be ready to capture, always launch the app before you start playing your games or using your apps. You can also customize your hotkeys and turn confirmation sounds on or off in Gyazo settings.

Grab every good game moment
Save your beauty of a highlight play
You just got a vicious monster kill and naturally you want to show it off. After the heat dies down hit the hotkeys to capture and then keep playing. Later on you can review the clip and share the page or video link. With full HD clips even super detailed gameplay can be seen clearly.
Find out where it all went wrong
Sometimes you can’t understand what happened because it just happened so fast. By grabbing a quick replay you can go back and see exactly how that tough enemy got you, and you can improve next time. Gyazo Replays have good framerate so you can see even lightning-fast action.
Promote your stream while you play
Maybe you're growing your twitch following but people on twitter and discord don't get that excited just from seeing your channel link. Use Replay to capture while you play, then share out a replay together with your link while you're waiting to respawn or between matches. By sharing high quality clips more frequently you'll get more followers and subscribers in no time.
So, TLDR;
Next time you go fighting, creating, or exploring launch Gyazo Replay first. When something cool happens, hit the hotkeys to capture and go right back to enjoying your game.
Gyazo Replay is available now for Gyazo Pro subscribers on Windows only. A version for all Gyazo Lite users is planned for the near future.

Capture mid-game screenshots without stopping for a millisecond
When you're playing a game there are tons of interesting moments worth screenshotting. But it's not worth it when you have to completely stop your game to do it.
Now you can capture your screen mid-game with zero interruptions in the new Gyazo 3.5.5.
New Feature: Full screen ready-to-share screenshots with hotkeys alone
No need to select an area, no need to use the mouse, and nothing to block what you see in-game -- Simply hit the hotkeys and the screenshot is captured, saved, and the link copied.
After capturing, a sound confirms success and then you can review your captures on Gyazo.com at any time. Get Gyazo Pro for editing options and unlimited access.
Own the moment, save the moment, share the moment
Share with friends and fans, get more viewers for your twitch stream, and create more content to update your social media accounts. Now you can save gameplay at ridiculous speed and without stopping the action. This feature is free for all Gyazo users.
How does it work and what options are available?
Screenshot your full screen area using only hotkeys, Ctrl+Shift+F11 by default. As usual, it is saved to your account and can be instantly shared.
Customize your screenshot hotkeys in the settings menu by right-clicking the icon in your task bar or notifications area > click settings. This is a Windows exclusive at this time.
Grab the moment before it's gone forever
Share what you're building in Roblox, Cities Skylines, or Factorio.
Grab your fights as they happen in League of Legends, Dota 2, Fortnite, and Apex Legends.
Save moments in twitch streams you're watching or discord chats.
Next up
This is one of many game-focused features coming to Gyazo. Soon you'll have more options for customizing hotkeys and a way to capture extended game moments that otherwise might have disappeared forever.

Getting the right display size for retina/4K images with Content-DPR headers
Original post by Pasta-K, Nota Software Engineer on 2019-03-22. This was translated from Japanese.
This week we added support for the Content-DPR header to all screenshots and images shared with Gyazo, potentially a world first. The header makes screenshots with a Device Pixel Ratio greater than 1 display at the proper size on all screens and it’s only possible on Gyazo.
TLDR; To have your retina/4k images/screenshots viewed at the correct size on any device you can use Gyazo links or embeds. No more undesirably huge screenshots of tiny things.
In this article, I decided to focus on how images delivered by Gyazo are using the Content-DPR header. The information in this article is accurate at the time it was written.
About the Content-DPR header
The Content-DPR header details are now written as one of the HTTP Client Hints according to the editor's draft of the 7th edition HTTP Client Hints specification, removed from the IETF Draft, and are in the process of being included in the HTML specification as of a few days before this article was written.
As the name suggests, this is a header that can notify the client of the DPR (Device Pixel Ratio) of the content being delivered.
Until now, when displaying an image in HTML, it was done without considering the DPR of the content itself. For example, when embedded in HTML, a screenshot taken on a Retina display would be displayed at double the original size in both the vertical and horizontal directions. Of course, screenshots uploaded to Gyazo were the same.
The solution to this problem is the Content-DPR header. If the client such as a modern browser supports them, the Content-DPR header details are acquired at the time of display and will be used to determine the appropriate size for the content. Currently the Content-DPR header is supported by Google Chrome with the naturalWidth and naturalHeight calculated and used at the time of display.
A sample is presented below. Currently, only Chrome is supported, so please look at it with Chrome.
Before (Without Content-DPR header)
naturalWidth: 1102
naturalHeight: 762
After (with Content-DPR header)
naturalWidth: 551
naturalHeight: 381
About the Introduction of Content-DPR to Gyazo images
Gyazo is an image-sharing service that mainly handles screenshots and is the first app where you can share scale-sensitive images from a retina display and have it displayed at the right size, such as a small UI element like a navigation bar or menu item.
Recently, we were aware that many users were taking screenshots with DPR greater than 1, such as on a Mac Retina display so naturally I was wondering if the fact that those images appear unintentionally large on your screen could be avoided. To that end, we now save the DPR when the image is uploaded and use this to provide processing that controls the display size of these images on Gyazo.
However, the images uploaded to Gyazo do not only live on Gyazo but are often expanded and viewed on Scrapbox as well as many other websites, blogs, and chat apps where the final display size may change. In such cases, it is possible to use the included DPR by using HTML embed code which can be copied easily from the share menu on any Gyazo image page.
With this change the Content-DPR header can convey the correct DPR to the client, and the client can display the image at an appropriate size. I sincerely hope you enjoy sharing screenshots that can be viewed at the proper size.
