Create a Responsive Image with CSS
To create a responsive image, first set an image using the <img> element. Use the width and max-width properties to set the same image to a responsive image.
Set an image
To set an image on a web page, use the <img> element. The link of the image is included using the src attribute of the <img> element −
<img src="https://images.pexels.com/photos/34950/pexels-photo.jpg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=2&h=650&w=940" alt ="Rail Track">
Above, we have also used the alt attribute for the alternate text.
Set the responsiveness
The width is set to 100% to convert an image to responsive. Also, you need to set the max-width property −
img {
width: 100%;
max-width: 1000px;
}
Example
The following is the code to create a responsive image with CSS −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<style>
img {
width: 100%;
max-width: 1000px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Responsive Images Example</h1>
<h2>Resize the window to see responsive image scale up and down</h2>
