How can I make an image responsive using only CSS?

Asked on Aug 28, 2025

Answer

To make an image responsive using only CSS, you can use the "max-width" property to ensure the image scales with its container while maintaining its aspect ratio.

<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
    <img src="example.jpg" alt="Responsive Image" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;">
    <!-- END COPY / PASTE -->

Additional Comment:

The "max-width: 100%;" rule ensures the image does not exceed the width of its container.
"Height: auto;" maintains the aspect ratio of the image as it scales.
This method works well for images within flexible grid or flexbox layouts.
Ensure the container of the image is also responsive for the best results.
