Wrapping the text around an image is quite attractive for any kind of website. By using HTML and CSS wrapping an image with the text is possible and there are many ways to do so because the shape of any image is not constant. In HTML :

  • You can also use CSS shape-outside Property depending on the shape of your image.
  • Align images to the right, left, or center in HTML for diverse layouts.Below examples illustrate the above approach:

Example 1: In this example, the image is floating right side of the screen and the text is wrapping the image. We don’t require shape-outside property here because the shape image is usual(square).
