Google AMP amp-img

Last Updated : 25 Oct, 2020

AMP HTML pages do not support the standard img tag, we use amp-img component to insert images in AMP HTML pages. The amp-img component does not require a script to be embedded in the header as it comes amp runtime.

Script Required: The amp-img is a built-in element so is automatically imported via AMP runtime.

HTML

<script async src= 
    "https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0.js"> 
</script>

Attributes:

src: Specifies the URL or path of the image that is to be embedded.
sizes: Defines size of the media query this can be only used when attribute rel=”icon”.
attribution: This is a string that depicts the attribution of the image.
height: Defines the height of the image.
width: Defines the width of the image.

Example:

HTML

<!doctype html> 
<html ⚡>

    <meta charset="utf-8">
