HTML Code:
<img src=”image1.jpg” alt=”How to drive” />

It is also important to change of the name of image. It effects in SEO.
Example: If you have a image of Ferrari Car. Then image name should be like – “ferrari-car.jpg”
3. Adding a Caption
After uploading images on website or blogger, you should always add a caption to the image, so that browser searches what exactly you are looking for.
4. File Size of Image
The size of image should be less. If you upload a image of 2 MB size. It will take a time to load a website. Thus the bounce rate of website will be more. So always upload the image of less size.
