Styling Images with CSS
Images are a crucial part of web design. CSS provides many ways to style and control how images appear on your web pages, improving their visual appeal and responsiveness.
Basic Image Styling
Styling images with CSS is similar to styling other elements. You can use properties like `border`, `height`, `width`, and more.
Thumbnail Images
Create thumbnail images using the `border` property to give them a distinct look.
Transparent Images
Use the `opacity` property to make images transparent. Values range from 0.0 (completely transparent) to 1.0 (fully opaque).
Rounded Images
The `border-radius` property creates rounded corners. You can control individual corners or all corners at once.
`border-radius` Property Values
border-radius: Sets the radius for all four corners.border-top-right-radius: Sets the top-right corner radius.border-top-left-radius: Sets the top-left corner radius.border-bottom-right-radius: Sets the bottom-right corner radius.border-bottom-left-radius: Sets the bottom-left corner radius.
Example: Rounded and Circular Images
Responsive Images
Responsive images automatically adjust their size to fit different screen sizes. This ensures your images look good on all devices.
Centering Images
Center an image using the `margin` property. Set both `margin-left` and `margin-right` to `auto` for horizontal centering.
