How to align images side by side with CSS?
Images are an important element on a webpage. We can add single or multiple images to the webpage. In this article, we are going to place images side by side using CSS properties.
Using CSS float property
We should use the div container to wrap the images and place each image inside the child div. The float:left property can be used to the images so that it floats left to the container. Set width percentage for each image and add padding between each image.

<style>
.column {
float: left;
width: 30%;
padding: 5px;
}
