image download using html

Hi guys,

Today we will see how to make image download when user clicks on image using html.

For that, we need "download" attribute. We need to keep this attribute in the tag, then when the user clicks on image, automatically image get downloaded.

Method 1:

<a href="/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/coding-vs-programming-2.jpg" download>
<img src="/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/coding-vs-programming-2.jpg" style="width:200px;height:100px;">
</a>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

In this method, when the user clicks on the image, image will be downloaded with the filename "coding-vs-programming-2".

Method 2:

<a href="/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/coding-vs-programming-2.jpg" download="filename">
<img src="/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/coding-vs-programming-2.jpg" style="width:200px;height:100px;">
</a>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

In this method, when the user clicks on the image, image will be downloaded with the filename "filename".

Note: Same origin links can only be downloadable.
