Q&A for How to Insert Images with HTML

You can, but the image will still only be on your computer, and not visible by anyone else who visits your website. To do this, use the image's file path instead of a URL. To find the file path, use a browser's "Open File" function to open the image, then look at the address bar. It will say something like "C:\Users\wikihow\image.jpg"

No. You can use any image file type unless the hosting website only allows certain file types.

If you're downsizing a particularly large image, it's best to do that in image editing software before uploading. Your website visitor has to download the exact image you uploaded, even if it only ends up as a tiny thumbnail on his or her screen.

You can stop after following the steps till the end of Part 1. The steps in Part 2 are optional.

If the image is no longer available at the URL you referenced, it will not appear on your website. Most likely the site hosting the image either took it down or moved it to another page.

The host of the image probably changed its link, in which case you should find out its new link and change the link you have written in your HTML, save it, and reload your web page. The host might also have taken down the image, in which case you should find a different image.

The code for inserting an image in HTML is listed in this article. Please read it above.

Change the code you used to insert the previous image and add the code to replace it. After that, save it and reload in the web page.

You can use any image file type unless the hosting website only allows certain file types.

Yes, as long as you are using one from the web or have an image from your computer.

In the most usual case, there is something wrong in the code/path/URL. If all the codes are right and it still shows a blank box, then there's something wrong with the browser or other technical difficulty.

Use the code <a href http://www.websitename.com>name you want to give the link</a>.

To create an HTML page, open a text editor like Notepad or VS Code and create a new file. Write the basic HTML structure, save it with a '.html' extension, and double-click the file to view it in your web browser.

To use raw images, first convert them to a common format like JPEG or PNG using software such as Adobe Lightroom. Then, insert the converted image into your document or web project.

To display a photo transferred from your phone, place the image in a folder like `Pictures` or `Documents`. In your HTML, use the relative file path to the image. If the image is in a subfolder, adjust the path accordingly. Make sure the image is in the same directory or a folder relative to your HTML file.

To paste code from Notepad into another application, first highlight the code, then right-click and select Copy or press Ctrl + C (Windows)/Cmd + C (Mac). Navigate to your desired location, right-click, and select Paste or press Ctrl + V (Windows)/Cmd + V (Mac).

To overlay text on an image in HTML, place both the image and a text element (like a div, p, h1, h2, etc.) in the same container. Make the image the same size as the container, and set the text position to 'absolute'. Then, position the text within the container, and if it doesn't appear, adjust the z-index of the text element.

If you're working locally and want to use an image stored on your computer, you can directly reference it using a relative path. Make sure the image file is in the same directory as your HTML file or in a subfolder.

Check if you have written the code correctly. Ensure the file name is typed correctly, and verify if the file type is compatible. Also, check for any internet connectivity issues.

If your image isn’t displaying but the alt text is, try these steps: Check the image URL for accuracy and accessibility. Ensure the path is correct, using an absolute path if necessary. Verify that the image file has the correct permissions for public access. Clear your browser cache or use incognito mode to see the latest version. Ensure the image is in a supported format like .jpg or .png.

This could be due to an error in your file referencing. Check again whether your image file is correctly referenced, with the correct file pathways or web link to it.

If your HTML page is server web hosted, you'll have to upload it to your web hosting server first, then in the href attribute, you can either link it to a static web link (ww.example/files/image.jpeg) or server file path (../files/image.jpeg). If your HTML page is on your computer file explorer, viewing your local HTML file, you can use the href attribute and link it accordingly to the image file path on your computer. Note that the image path will vary, depending on the location of your HTML files, and the location of the image file. files/image.jpeg will only work if image.jpeg is in a folder called "files", which has to be located in the same folder the HTML file is in.

To align the image to the center, the easiest way is to add style="text-align: center" into the tag as an attribute. The more practical way is to do it with an external CSS file, but that is a lot to explain, and there isn't enough space in a short answer.

You can try correcting the file path of the "src" attribute or checking your internet.

The easiest form of animation available is GIF. Make one and add it.

That likely means that the computer couldn't find the picture you coded there or it doesn't work in that browser. This is why it is especially helpful to put an alt tag in your picture. Try opening it in another browser. If that doesn't work, then you can assume there is something wrong with your code. Go over your code and make sure everything is where you coded it and that there are no spelling mistakes. Remember, computers can only do what you code them to so if you don't code it properly, it cannot think for itself and realize that you meant to type and 'r' instead of a 't'.

Put CSS in the heading tags after the title and then do body { float: left,right, or center;} or do body { text-align: left, right or center;}.

Between your and tag write this: img {text-align: center;}. This will make all pictures centered. To center everything do 'body' instead of 'img' this is called internal CSS. Look into it for your webpage as it is very useful.
