Images and Multimedia in HTML

Images

Use the <img src="image.jpg" alt="Description"> tag to embed images into a webpage. The src attribute specifies the file path, while alt provides alternative text for accessibility and SEO.

Example

<img src="dog.jpg" alt="A cute dog">

Multimedia

You can embed audio and video using the <audio> and <video> elements. These tags allow browsers to play media directly without external plugins.

Example

<video controls width="300" height="150">
  <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
  Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

Accessibility Tip

Always include descriptive alt text for images and captions for videos. This improves usability for screen readers and enhances search engine understanding.
