When generating html, how do you specify image size?

Question

I am using htlatex (or as many people call it tex4ht) to generate html and I have included some graphics. Htlatex seems to ignore all the size arguments I give the image size. I've tried specifying:

width=\textwidth
width=2in
width=1024px
width=1024pt

All of these have been ignored. Can you specify a size for the image when using htlatex to generate an html version of your document? If yes how does one specify the image size?

Right now I am editing each picture to be the correct size but this is bothersome... I would much rather have one high res picture and then specify a smaller size.

tex4ht is more general, htlatex is only one script from the bundle, there are also others — michal.h21, Jul 27 '12 at 14:12
see http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/43801/2891 for some details on how tex4ht process images — michal.h21, Jul 27 '12 at 14:14
I will check out your link. I'm only a beginner/intermediate latex user so... that answer was very complex. I have to change an env config file... i also have to compile different... right now i compile via htlatex.bat FILE.tex where htlatex.bat is from here. — Trevor Boyd Smith, Jul 27 '12 at 15:57
I think the latex2html tag doesn't apply to that question. — raphink, Sep 14 '12 at 12:19

Following code will help you to grab the width and height dimensions of the graphic provided with your \includegraphics command:

 \makeatletter
    \Configure{graphics}
     {\bgroup
         \Configure{IMG}
            {\HCode{<img src="}}
            {\HCode{" alt="}}
            {" }
            {\HCode{" }}
            {}%
      \Picture+[PIC]{}}
     {\EndPicture
       \HCode{ width="\expandafter\the\csname Gin@req@width\endcsname"
       height="\expandafter\the\csname Gin@req@height\endcsname"
        />}%
      \egroup}
 \makeatother

how do I use this Latex code? (is it a one time bit that goes in the preamble? is it a macro definition that I use each time I include a graphic? does it go in the options for includegraphics?) – Trevor Boyd Smith Sep 18 '12 at 19:56
It is a one time bit to be entered in the preamble. – CV Radhakrishnan Sep 19 '12 at 15:06
Sorry, I am unable to make this work. I put the above code into a working .cfg file, and in my tex file, the image is used as \includegraphics[width = 2in]{figs/test.png}, but the image still appears in fullresolution in the generated html. – M-V Sep 23 '12 at 07:11
You need to keep *.eps versions of your figures. Since tex4ht relies on .dvi and hence dvips driver of graphicx package is made use of, only .eps files will provide all the functionality of \includegraphics. Also, remove the extension .png from your your included graphic file names. – CV Radhakrishnan Sep 24 '12 at 07:06
With TeXLive under Ubuntu I get the error (I report just a small portion) l.134 --- TeX4ht warning --- \Configure{graphics}? --- l.134 --- TeX4ht warning --- \Configure{IMG}? --- and ...such style files MUST BE UPDATED to use Current Standard LaTeX: LaTeX2e.... – mmj Dec 02 '13 at 10:46
With TeXLive under Ubuntu and a minimal example I get the error ! Undefined control sequence. l.4 \Configure {graphics}. Any clue? – mmj Dec 02 '13 at 11:33
Couldn't get this working in my preamble (.cfg) file. Also I am specifying .eps in the filename in includegraphics, and also have another \Configure{graphics*} paragraph in the .cfg, so how can they be combined? – Jun 10 '19 at 19:21

Since htlatex seems to generate a DVI first, the following answer helped me: Cannot determine size of graphic

So for setting the displayed size of a 530x260 JPG image in HTML, I did:

\includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth,natwidth=530,natheight=260]{image.jpg}

A screenshot of the output would help and we appreciate full examples, not just one-line-code samples ;-) – Aug 05 '14 at 12:54
