Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Responsive images in HTML are a way to provide multiple versions of an image, optimized for different screen sizes, resolutions, and layout conditions. The browser will automatically select the most appropriate image source for the current display and layout. To implement responsive images, you can use the srcset and sizes attributes on the `img` element, or use the `picture` and `source` elements for more advanced techniques like art direction. Modern browsers also support features such as lazy loading with sizes=auto.
