How to Use the Responsive Image srcset Generator — WebdevToolbox Guide

Build a complete img srcset and sizes attribute from a base image URL pattern and a list of target widths.

WebdevToolbox Team2 min read

Writing srcset and sizes attributes by hand is tedious and error-prone — one typo in the width descriptors and browsers silently pick the wrong image. This tool generates the full, correctly-formatted markup from a simple URL pattern.

What Is the Responsive Image srcset Generator?

Enter a base image URL with a {w} width placeholder, a list of target widths, and a sizes value, and get a complete, ready-to-paste <img> tag with src, srcset, and sizes attributes.

How to Use It

  1. Open the tool at /tools/srcset-generator.
  2. Enter your image URL pattern using {w} where the width should go.
  3. List your target widths and a sizes media-condition string.
  4. Copy the generated <img> markup.

Key Features

  • Automatic width sorting and descriptor formatting (320w, 640w, etc.).
  • Configurable fallback width for the base src attribute.
  • Built-in loading="lazy" for below-the-fold performance.
  • Live output that updates as you type.

When to Use This Tool

  • Serving correctly-sized images across devices without writing the markup by hand.
  • Standardizing responsive image markup across a team or CMS templates.
  • Learning how srcset/sizes actually work together, with a concrete generated example.
