What types of image files can be embedded using the <img> tag in HTML?

The <img> tag in HTML supports embedding various raster and vector image formats, the most common of which are:

• JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg) — for photographs with many colors.
• PNG (.png) — supports transparency and lossless compression.
• GIF (.gif) — supports animation and limited color palette.
• SVG (.svg) — vector format, scalable without loss of quality.
• WebP (.webp) — modern format with good compression and transparency support.

Example usage:

<img src="image.png" alt="Image description">

It is important that the browser supports the image format, otherwise it will not display.
