Modern device dimensions for Chrome DevTools.

Modern Device Dimensions for Chrome DevTools

These are modern “Emulated Devices” (a.k.a. responsive dimensions) for Chrome DevTools’ Mobile Device Viewport Mode.

They are specifically Apple devices, subtracting for recent Safari UI (as in window.innerWidth/Height), and cleverly sorted with some dark-arts unicode shenanigans. (This glitchy, unloved portion of the tools sorts lexicographically, because of course it would.) Ergonomics!

 

Note

Updated June 2025 with some notes from folks below! TL;DR: use Vibranium!

Compress PDF files with ghostscript

This can reduce files to ~15% of their size (2.3M to 345K, in one case) with no obvious degradation of quality.

ghostscript -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=output.pdf input.pdf

Other options for PDFSETTINGS:

  • /screen selects low-resolution output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "Screen Optimized" setting.
  • /ebook selects medium-resolution output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "eBook" setting.
  • /printer selects output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "Print Optimized" setting.
  • /prepress selects output similar to Acrobat Distiller "Prepress Optimized" setting.
