image

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since January 2020.

O elemento SVG <image> carrega imagens dentro de documentos SVG. Ele pode exibir arquivos raster image ou outros arquivos SVG.

The only image formats SVG software must support are JPEG, PNG, and other SVG files. Animated GIF behavior is undefined.

SVG files displayed with <image> are treated as an image: external resources aren't loaded, :visited styles aren't applied, and they cannot be interactive. To include dynamic SVG elements, try <use> with an external URL. To include SVG files and run scripts inside them, try <object> inside of <foreignObject>.

Nota: The HTML spec defines <image> as a synonym for <img> while parsing HTML. This specific element and its behavior only apply inside SVG documents or inline SVG.
