Styling Images

 

Hello, everyone! Welcome to the Styling Images lesson.

In this lesson, we will learn how to style images on a web page using CSS.

What is image styling?

Image styling is the process of altering the appearance of images on a web page.

This can include things like the size, position, border, background, and effects of the image.

CSS Properties for Styling Images

There are many CSS properties that can be used to style images. Some of the most common CSS properties for styling images include:

• Size: Defines the size of the image.
• Position: Defines the position of the image on the page.
• Border: Defines a border around the image.
• Background: Defines a background for the image.
• Effect: Applies an effect to the image.

Examples

Let’s see some examples of how to use CSS properties to style images.

Example 1:

The following CSS code sets the size of the image with the id image1 to 100px width and 100px height:

#image1 {
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
}

Example 2:

The following CSS code sets the position of the image with the id image2 to be centered on the page:

#image2 {
  position: center;
}

Example 3:

The following CSS code sets a border around the image with the id image3 with a width of 1px and red color:

#image3 {
  border: 1px solid red;
}

Example 4:

The following CSS code sets a background for the image with the id image4 with the color green:

#image4 {
  background-color: green;
}

Example 5:

The following CSS code applies a shadow effect to the image with the id image5:

#image5 {
  box-shadow: 0 0 10px 10px black;
}

Note

It’s important to use CSS selectors to control which CSS rules are applied to which images. This will help keep your CSS organized and easy to maintain.
