Working with Media (HTML5)

This page demonstrates images, audio, video, captions, alt text, and custom list markers.

Click the thumbnail to view the original high-resolution photo (opens in new tab).

PNG: Image aligned next to text

A white chess pawn icon (transparent PNG).

PNG supports transparency, which makes it ideal for icons and UI elements. Here, the pawn sits to the right and text flows around it. You can also achieve side-by-side layouts with Flexbox or Grid; float is shown to mimic classic article wrapping.

Accessibility note: meaningful images need descriptive alt text. Decorative images should use empty alt="".

GIF: Animated image

Animated GIF of the Earth rotating.
Animated GIFs can add motion to a page. Keep file sizes reasonable for performance.
