You can create responsive images right inside HTML, by using the srcset and sizes attributes on images:
<!-- Use srcset with sizes to display different images based on screen size -->
<img srcset="small-nickcage.jpg 320w,
medium-nickcage.jpg 768w,
large-nickcage.jpg 1024w"
sizes="(max-width: 320px) 280px,
(max-width: 768px) 720px,
1024px"
src="large-nickcage.jpg"
alt="No need for introduction, you already know him" />Copied to clipboard!
srcset defines a comma-separated list of images with their intrinsic size. On the other hand, sizes holds a list of media queries with preferred image sizes. Meaning that if the browser matches the media query, the image will be displayed on the size specified next to the query.
