Autoprefixer is a PostCSS plugin used to parse CSS and add vendor prefixes to your rules by using the values from Can I Use.

Thus, you can write your CSS rules without vendor prefixes:

::placeholder {
  color: gray;
}

.image {
  background-image: url(image@1x.png);
}
@media (min-resolution: 2dppx) {
  .image {
    background-image: url(image@2x.png);
  }
}

Autoprefixer will use data based on current browser popularity and property support to automatically apply prefixes for you:

::-moz-placeholder {
  color: gray;
}
::placeholder {
  color: gray;
}

.image {
  background-image: url(image@1x.png);
}
@media (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),
       (min-resolution: 2dppx) {
  .image {
    background-image: url(image@2x.png);
  }
}

You can also try out an interactive demo of Autoprefixer.
