How Can I View the Picture if I Just Have an HTML Code for an Image?

The HTML <img> tag includes the actual URL of an image to display on a website, in addition to other related image attributes, such as height, width and the alternative text a screen reader should say if someone with limited or no eyesight visits your page. You can actually view the image from the HTML tag by copying the image's source URL from within the HTML tag and viewing that address directly in your Web browser.

Instructions

1. Open the file, email or other location containing the image's HTML code.

2. Highlight the entire URL after the "src=" attribute inside the <img> tag. For example, if your code looks like this:

   <img src="http://domain.com/img.png" />

   Highlight "http://domain.com/img.png" without the quotation marks.

3. Press "Ctrl" and "C" to copy this source URL.

4. Launch your Web browser.

5. Click inside the address bar. Press "Ctrl" and "V" to paste the image's source URL.

6. Press "Enter" to load the image's source URL and view the image.
