—About HTML Image Generator
The HTML Image Generator turns a dropped image into a ready-to-paste img tag with a data URI source, letting you set alt text, dimensions, and lazy loading. It is for developers inlining a small image directly into markup.
Inlining an image as a data URI removes a separate request and keeps the asset self-contained. Building the tag locally means the image is never uploaded, and the attributes are filled in for you.
Step by step
- Drop an image into the tool.
- Set the alt text, dimensions, and lazy-loading option.
- The img tag is generated with the data URI inlined.
- Review the markup.
- Copy it into your HTML.
What it offers
- img tag with inlined data URI
- Alt text and dimension attributes
- Lazy-loading option
- Generated in the browser — HTML Image
Where it helps
- Inlining a small icon directly in a page
- Embedding an image in HTML email or a self-contained file
- Avoiding an extra request for a tiny graphic
- Producing an accessible img tag with alt text set
Tips for best results
- Inline only small images; link larger ones as normal files for caching.
- Always provide meaningful alt text unless the image is purely decorative.
- Set width and height to reduce layout shift as the page loads.
Pitfalls to watch for
- Inlining large images, which bloats the HTML; data URIs suit small assets.
- Leaving alt text empty, which harms accessibility unless the image is decorative.
- Inlining the same image on many pages instead of caching a shared file.

Common questions
This runs entirely in your browser
No file or text you enter here is uploaded. Encoding and decoding happen on your device using native browser APIs — close the tab and nothing remains on a server.
