Final answer:

The issue of an image not showing up in HTML is typically due to incorrect file paths, file names, issues with file uploading, or HTML coding errors. Make sure to save, edit, and upload the image correctly, and reference it properly in the tag with an accurate source attribute.

Step-by-step explanation:

If your image is not showing up in HTML, there could be several reasons. First, ensure that the image has been correctly saved and uploaded to your server or hosting platform. Following the steps such as finding an appropriate image, saving the image, and editing if needed (with tools like Pixlr) are crucial before uploading to your website.

After uploading, you want to reference the image correctly in your HTML code. The <img> tag is used to embed an image in an HTML page, and it requires a 'src' attribute that specifies the path to the image file. Make sure that the path in the 'src' attribute is correct and that your file name and extension are accurate. Common mistakes include typos in the file path, incorrect file extensions, or simply failing to upload the image to the correct directory. There may also be access permission issues preventing the image from being displayed. Beyond these steps, it's important to check your browser console for any errors and consider compatibility issues with various browsers. Simple HTML and file management troubleshooting steps can resolve most image display issues.
