Adding Images to Web Pages
Saving images for the Web
- There are many tools available to prepare your images from the Web. You might like to try a free online image editor such as Picnik, or purchase a license for Adobe Photoshop Elements or other image editing software. Web services can help you choose the best software for you imaging needs.
- Keep the file size down below 150k, usually no bigger than 500 pixels on either side.
- Use JPEG format for photographs, use GIF format for graphics with text.
- Use a file name with no special characters or spaces, make it short but descriptive.
- Store images in their own folder and keep them well organized.
Inserting the image
- Always use an "alt" or description tag, and if the image is filler leave the alt tag blank.
- Make sure the width and height attributes match the actual image size.
- Use a caption and indicate a source where appropriate.
