HTML <img> align Attribute

HTML <img> tag

Definition and Usage

The align attribute specifies the horizontal and vertical alignment of an image according to the surrounding element.

The img element is an inline element (it does not insert a new line on a page), meaning that text and other elements can wrap around it. Therefore, it can be useful to specify the alignment of the image according to surrounding elements.

Browser Support

The align attribute is deprecated, but still supported in all major browsers.
