Images bring life to web pages on the internet. To Insert image in an HTML document <img> tag is used. For examle:

<img src="k2.jpg">

src is the URL of image. It is the required attribute. If image is in the same folder then only image filename is enough. If it is in a folder named images then it will be "images/filename.jpg". Only images with extension .gif, .jpg or .jpeg and .png are supported in HTML documents.

<img> tag has two dimension attributes i.e. height and width that specify the dimensions of image in HTML document. If you specify these attributes browser will allocate the specified dimensions for the image while image is still loading. You can also use them to alter the dimensions of images. Another attribute of <img> tag is border, which specifies the size of border around image. Lets see an example of <img> tag.

<img src=images/k2.jpg" width=308 height=234>
<br>
<img src=images/k2.jpg" width=154 height=117 border=2>
