To resize an image while preserving its aspect ratio using the keyboard and mouse in HTML, follow these steps:
- First, ensure that the image has a
widthandheightattribute set in its HTML tag. This is important to maintain the aspect ratio when resizing.
<img src="image.jpg" width="800" height="600" alt="Resizable Image">
-
To resize the image, you can use the corner handles (also known as resize handles) that appear when you hover over the image.
-
To select the resize handle, press the
Spacebar on your keyboard. This will select the image. -
Now, you can move the image by dragging it with the mouse. To resize the image, click and drag one of the corner handles. As you drag, the image will resize while maintaining its aspect ratio.

To stop resizing, release the mouse button.
Here's a summary of the steps:
- Set
widthandheightattributes in the image tag. - Hover over the image to display the resize handles.
- Press the
Spacebar to select the image. - Click and drag a corner handle to resize the image while maintaining its aspect ratio.
