The picture element and associated features are W3C standard HTML features that allow web developers to deliver an appropriate image to every user depending on a variety of conditions like screen size, viewport size, screen resolution, and more. Picturefill is a polyfill that enables support for the picture element and associated features in browsers that do not yet support them, so you can start using them today!
A consensus was reached on the spec. Chrome, Firefox, and Opera are implementing it as we speak. Until then (and for other browsers) use this one.
