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>.

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.

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;}.

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'.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
