It s true  they are both - or more precisely  they are  inline block  elements  This means that they flow inline like text  but also have a width and height like block elements   In CSS  you can set an element to display  inline-block to make it replicate the behaviour of images    Images and objects are also known as  replaced  elements  since they do not have content per se  the element is essentially replaced by binary data     Note that browsers technically use display  inline  as seen in the developer tools  but they are giving special treatment to images  They still follow all traits of inline-block

IMG elements are inline  meaning that unless they are floated they will flow horizontally with text and other inline elements   They are  block  elements in that they have a width and a height  But they behave more like  inline-block  in that respect

For almost all purposes think of them as an inline element with a width set    Basically you are free to dictate how you would like images to display using CSS   I generally set a few image classes like so   img center  display block margin 0 auto    img left  float left margin-right 10px    img right   float right margin-left 10px    img border   border 1px solid  333

An img element is a replaced inline element   It behaves like an inline element  because it is   but some generalizations about inline elements do not apply to img elements   e g    Generalization   Width does not apply to inline elements   What the spec actually says   Applies to  all elements but non-replaced inline elements  table rows  and row groups    Since an image is a replaced inline element  it does apply
