HTML <img> tag


Example

An image is marked up as follows:

<img src="angry.gif" alt="Angry face" />

Try it yourself!  (more examples at the bottom of this page)


Definition and Usage

The <img> tag embeds an image in an HTML page.

The <img> tag has two required attributes: src and alt.


Browser Support

Internet Explorer Firefox Opera Google Chrome Safari

The <img> tag is supported in all major browsers.


Differences Between HTML and XHTML

In HTML the <img> tag has no end tag.

In XHTML the <img> tag must be properly closed.

The "align", "border", "hspace", and "vspace" attributes of the image element were deprecated in HTML 4.01, and are not supported in XHTML 1.0 Strict DTD.


Tips and Notes

Tip: The alt attribute is meant to be used as an alternative text if the image is not available, not as a mouse-over text. To show a mouse-over text on images or image-maps, use the title attribute, like this: <img src="angry.gif" alt="Angry face" title="Angry face" />
