              url(/public/images/cool.png) at-2x;
}

Output

.multi {
  background: url(http://example.com/image.png),
              linear-gradient(to right, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0),  rgba(255, 255, 255, 1)),
              green,
              url(/public/images/cool.png);
}

@media (min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5), (min-resolution: 144dpi), (min-resolution: 1.5dppx) {
  .multi {
    background-image: url(http://example.com/image.png), 
                      linear-gradient(to right, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0),  rgba(255, 255, 255, 1)), 
                      none,
                      url(/public/images/[email protected]);
  }
}

Options

identifier (default: "@2x") string

Change the identifier added to retina images, for example [email protected] can be file-retina.png.

detectImageSize (default: false) boolean

Obtains the image dimensions of the non-retina image automatically and applies them to the background-size property of the retina image.

skipMissingRetina (default: false) boolean

If the retina image cannot be found on the file system it will be skipped and not output into the result CSS.

resolveImagePath function

Get resolved image path for detecting image size. By default, original url value is resolved from current working directory (process.cwd()).

Function receives two arguments: original url value and PostCSS declaration source.

Output

.element {
  background: url(img.jpg) no-repeat;
}

@media (min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5), (min-resolution: 144dpi), (min-resolution: 1.5dppx) {
  .element {
    background: url([email protected]) no-repeat;
    background-size: 540px 675px; /* Dimensions of img.jpg */
  }
}
