How To Create a Thumbnail Image

Use an <img> element and wrap an <a> element around it. Style the image with a border and add a hover effect:

Example

<style>
img {
border: 1px solid #ddd; /* Gray border */
border-radius: 4px; /* Rounded border */
padding: 5px; /* Some padding */
width: 150px; /* Set a small width */
}

/* Add a hover effect (blue shadow) */
img:hover {
box-shadow: 0 0 2px 1px rgba(0, 140, 186, 0.5);
}
</style>
<body>

<a target="_blank" href="img_forest.jpg">
<img src="img_forest.jpg" alt="Forest">
</a>

</body>
