<picture>

The picture tag is used to display one or more image sources with more flexibility to adjust to various screen sizes.

Syntax

The <picture> tag contains one or more <source> tags and one <img> tag. The browser renders the first <source> tag that matches the current viewport width. If none of the <source> tags match, then the browser will use the <img> tag as the fallback. The required <img> tag must be the last child within the <picture> tag.

<picture>
  <source media="(min-width:1040px)" srcset="img_for_larger_screens.jpg">
  <source media="(min-width:768px)" srcset="img_for_tablets.jpg">
  <img src="img_fallback.jpg" alt="Fallback image">
</picture>
