HTML - Embedding Images Using the Tag

Embedding Images Using the <img> Tag in HTML

Images are embedded in HTML pages using the <img> tag. Since it is self-closing, an end tag is not necessary. In order to control the appearance and operation of the picture, the image element mainly employs properties like src, alt, width, and height.

• src (Source): Provides the image's URL.
• alt (Alternate Text): In the event that the picture cannot be shown or is not readable, provide a text description of the image.
• width and height: Specify the image's dimensions in pixels. To preserve responsiveness and keep content and design distinct, it is advised to using CSS for sizing.
   

Example of Embedding an Image:

<img src="path/to/image.jpg" alt="Description of the image" width="500" height="300">
