HTML Images — How to Add Images to Your Webpage (Beginner’s Guide)
Learn how to add images in HTML using the <img> tag, set image source, alt text for SEO, size attributes, and display images properly on your website.
📝 What Are HTML Images?
Images make your webpage visually appealing and help convey information quickly.
In HTML, images are added using the <img> tag.
<img src="image.jpg" alt="Description of Image">
src: Specifies the path to the image file.
alt: Provides alternative text if the image cannot be displayed (important for SEO and accessibility).
🔥 Why Use Alt Text?
SEO – Search engines index your images based on alt text.
Accessibility – Screen readers can read alt text for visually impaired users.
Fallback – Displays text if the image fails to load.

📌 Resize Images
You can control the image size using HTML attributes or CSS:
<img src="faulink-logo.png" alt="Faulink Logo" width="200" height="100">
Or with CSS:
<img src="faulink-logo.png" alt="Faulink Logo" class="logo">
<style>
.logo {
width: 200px;
height: auto;
border-radius: 8px;
}
</style>
✨ Responsive Images
To make images responsive across devices:
<img src="faulink-logo.png" alt="Faulink Logo" style="max-width:100%; height:auto;">
This ensures the image scales based on the screen width.
