Atributos

This element includes the global attributes.

align Deprecated since HTML4.01, Obsolete since HTML5 Use the vertical-align CSS property

The alignment of the image with respect to its surrounding context.

alt

This attribute defines the alternative text describing the image. Users will see this displayed if the image URL is wrong, the image is not in one of the supported formats, or until the image is downloaded.

Usage note: Omitting this attribute indicates that the image is a key part of the content, but no textual equivalent is available. Setting this attribute to the empty string indicates that this image is not a key part of the content; non-visual browsers may omit it from rendering.

border Deprecated since HTML4.01, Obsolete since HTML5

The width of a border around the image.

crossorigin HTML5

This enumerated attribute indicates if the fetching of the related image must be done using CORS or not. CORS-enabled images can be reused in the <canvas> element without being tainted. The allowed values are:

anonymous

A cross-origin request (i.e. with Origin: HTTP header) is performed. But no credential is sent (i.e. no cookie, no X.509 certificate and no HTTP Basic authentication is sent). If the server does not give credentials to the origin site (by not setting the Access-Control-Allow-Origin: HTTP header), the image will be tainted and its usage restricted..

use-credentials

A cross-origin request (i.e. with Origin: HTTP header) performed with credential is sent (i.e. a cookie, a certificate and HTTP Basic authentication is performed). If the server does not give credentials to the origin site (through Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: HTTP header), the image will be tainted and its usage restricted.

When not present, the resource is fetched without a CORS request (i.e. without sending the Origin: HTTP header), preventing its non-tainted usage in <canvas> elements. If invalid, it is handled as if the enumerated keyword anonymous was used. See CORS settings attributes for additional information.

height

The height of the image in HTML5 CSS pixels, or HTML 4 in pixels or as a percentage.

hspace Deprecated since HTML4.01, Obsolete since HTML5

The number of pixels of white space to insert to the left and right of the image.

ismap

This Boolean attribute indicates that the image is part of a server-side map. If so, the precise coordinates of a click are sent to the server.

Usage note: This attribute is allowed only if the <img> element is a descendant of an <a> element with a valid href attribute.

longdescHTML 4 only

The URL of a description of the image to be displayed, which supplements the alt text. In HTML5, use a regular <a> element to link to the description.

name Deprecated since HTML4.01, Obsolete since HTML5

A name for the element. It is supported in HTML 4 only for backward compatibility. Use the id attribute instead.

src

Image URL, this attribute is obligatory for the <img> element. On browsers supporting srcset, src is ignored if this one is provided.

srcsetHTML5

A list of one or more strings separated by commas indicating a set of possible images for the user agent to use. Each string is composed of:

1. one URL to an image,
2. a width descriptor, that is a positive integer directly followed by 'w'. The default value, if missing, is the infinity.
3. a pixel density descriptor, that is a positive floating number directly followed by 'x'. The default value, if missing, is 1x.

Each string in the list must have at least a width descriptor or a pixel density descriptor to be valid. Among the list, there must be only one string containing the same tuple of width descriptor and pixel density descriptor.
The browser chooses the most adequate image to display at a given point of time.

width

The width of the image in pixels or percent.

usemap

The partial URL (starting with '#') of an image map associated with the element.

Usage note: You cannot use this attribute if the <img> element is a descendant of an <a> or <button> element.

vspace Deprecated since HTML4.01, Obsolete since HTML5

The number of pixels of white space to insert above and below the image.

Formato de imagens suportadas

O Padrão HTML doesn't give a list of image format that must be supported, so each user agent supports a different set of formats. Gecko supports:

• JPEG
• GIF, inclusão de animações GIFs
• PNG
• APNG
• SVG
• BMP
• BMP ICO
• PNG ICO

Interação com CSS

Regarding CSS, an <img> is a replaced element. It has no baseline, meaning, when used in an inline formatting context with vertical-align: baseline, the bottom of the image will be posed on the container's baseline.

Depending of its type, an image may have an intrinsic dimension, but this is not a necessary condition: a SVG image has no intrinsic dimension, a raster image has one.

Exemplo 1

<img src="mdn-logo-sm.png" alt="MD Logo" />

Exemplo 2: Link em imagem

<a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/"><img src="mdn-logo-sm.png" alt="MDN Logo" /> </a>

Example 3: Usando o atributo srcset

The src attribute is ignored on browsers supporting srcset when this one is provided. The displayed images will depend of the type of screen.

 <img src="mdn-logo-sm.png" 
      alt="MD Logo" 
      srcset="mdn-logo-HD.png 2x, mdn-logo-small.png 15w, mdn-banner-HD.png 100w 2x" />
