The <picture> tag in HTML is used to give flexibility to the web-developers to specify image resources. The <picture> tag contains <source> and <img> tags. The attribute value is set to load more appropriate image. 
The <img> element is used for the last child element of the picture declaration block. The <img> element is used to provide backward compatibility for browsers that do not support the element, or if none of the source tags matched. 

The <picture> tag is similar to <video> and <audio>. We add different sources, and the first source that fits the preferences is the one that will be used. 

Syntax: 

<picture>
    Image and source tag
<picture>

Below example illustrates the <picture> tag in HTML:

Example: 

html




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
 
<head>
    <style>
        body {
            text-align: center;
        }
         
        h1 {
            color: green;
        }
    </style>
</head>
 
<body>
    <h1>GeeksforGeeks</h1>
 
    <h2>HTML <picture> Tag</h2>
 
    <picture>
        <source media="(min-width: 700px)"
