HTML picture element

The HTML <picture> element allows you to display different pictures for different devices or screen sizes.

The <picture> element contains one or more <source> elements, each referring to different images through the srcset attribute. This way the browser can choose the image that best fits the current view and/or device.
Each <source> element has a media attribute that defines when the image is the most suitable.

Example

<picture>
    <source media="(min-width: 650px)" srcset ="image_nature.jpg">
    <source media="(min-width: 465px)" srcset ="image_balloon.jpg">
    <img src="image_boat.jpg">
</picture>
