HTML Images

Welcome to the HTML Images tutorial on codeswithpankaj.com. In this tutorial, we will explore what HTML images are, why they are important, and provide examples to help you understand how to use them effectively.

What are HTML Images?

HTML images are used to embed pictures and graphics into a web page. Images can enhance the visual appeal of your content and provide additional information in a visual format. The <img> tag is used to embed images in an HTML document.

Importance of HTML Images

Visual Appeal: Images make your content more engaging and visually appealing.
Information: Images can convey information more effectively than text alone.
User Experience: Well-placed images can enhance the user experience by breaking up text and providing visual context.

Creating HTML Images

Basic Image

To embed an image, you use the <img> tag with the src attribute, which specifies the path to the image file, and the alt attribute, which provides alternative text for the image.

Example:

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

Image Attributes

src (source): Specifies the path to the image file.
alt (alternative text): Provides a text description of the image for screen readers and when the image cannot be displayed.
width and height: Set the dimensions of the image.
title: Provides additional information about the image when the user hovers over it.

Example:

<img src="path/to/image.jpg" alt="Description of the image" width="300" height="200" title="Image Title">

Responsive Images

To make images responsive, you can use CSS to ensure they scale properly with different screen sizes.

Example:

<style>
img {
    max-width: 100%;
    height: auto;
}
</style>

<img src="path/to/image.jpg" alt="Responsive Image">

Image as a Link

You can use an image as a link by wrapping the <img> tag inside an <a> tag.

Example:

<a href="https://www.codeswithpankaj.com">
    <img src="path/to/image.jpg" alt="Clickable Image">
</a>

Practical Examples
