The images collection property in HTML is used to return the collection of <img> elements in the document. It can be used for knowing the count of images inserted in the document using the <img> tag. The <input> elements with type = image are not counted in the image property.
Syntax: 
 

document.images

Property: It returns the number of <img> elements in the collections.
Methods: The DOM images collection contains three methods which are given below: 
 

  • [index]: It is used to return the element of selected index. The index value starts with 0. It returns NULL if the index value is out of range.
  • item(index): It is used to return the <img> element of selected index. The index value starts with 0. It returns NULL if the index value is out of range.
  • namedItem(id): It is used to returns the <img> element from the collection with given id attribute. It returns NULL if the id is not valid.

Return Value: An HTMLCollection Object, representing all <img> elements in the document. The elements in the collection are sorted as they appear in the source code

Example 1: Using the length property to return the number of <img> elements in the collection.
