Add an Image with Bootstrap
Bootstrap provides classes to make working with images easier. Here’s how to add a responsive image using Bootstrap:

Add an Image with Basic HTML
The simplest way to add an image to your webpage is by using the tag in HTML.
How It Works:
<img>
is the HTML tag used to embed an image.src="path/to/your-image.jpg"
specifies the path to the image file.alt="Description of the image"
provides alternative text for the image, which is important for accessibility.
<img src="path/to/your-image.jpg" alt="Description of the image">
Add an Image with CSS
You can also add images using CSS, which is useful for background images.
How It Works:
background-image: url('path/to/your-image.jpg');
sets the background image for the<div>
.background-size: cover;
ensures the image covers the entire area of the container.background-position: center;
centers the image within the container.
<div class="image-container"></div>
.image-container {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
background-image: url('path/to/your-image.jpg');
background-size: cover;
background-position: center;
}
