Images

The <img> tag embeds an image. src points to the file, alt is a text description — required for accessibility and for when the image fails to load.

Example

<img src="photo.jpg" alt="An example placeholder image" width="300" height="200">

Change alt to your own description, then try removing alt entirely — notice what changes.

The src, alt, loading, and srcset attributes of the <img> tag, with examples.

The alt attribute of img: a required text description for accessibility and fallback.

The src attribute of img, script, video, audio, iframe: the URL of a resource to load.
