Image inside div has extra space below the image

Question

Why in the following code the height of the div is bigger than the height of the img ? There is a gap below the image, but it doesn't seems to be a padding/margin.

What is the gap or extra space below image?

#wrapper {
  border: 1px solid red;
  width:200px;
}
img {
  width:200px;
}

<div id="wrapper">
  <img src="http://i.imgur.com/RECDV24.jpg" />
</div>

Answer 1

All you have to do is assign this property:

img {
    display: block;
}

The images by default have this property:

img {
    display: inline;
}

Answer 2

I used line-height:0 and it works fine for me.

Answer 3

You can use several methods for this issue like

1. Using line-height

   #wrapper {  line-height: 0px;  }
   

2. Using display: flex

   #wrapper {  display: flex;         }
   #wrapper {  display: inline-flex;  }
   

3. Using display: block, table, flex and inherit

   #wrapper img {  display: block;    }
   #wrapper img {  display: table;    }
   #wrapper img {  display: flex;     }
   #wrapper img {  display: inherit;  }
   

Answer 4

I found it works great using display:block; on the image and vertical-align:top; on the text.

.imagebox {
    width:200px;
    float:left;
    height:88px;
    position:relative;
    background-color: #999;
}
.container {
    width:600px;
    height:176px;
    background-color: #666;
    position:relative;
    overflow:hidden;
}
.text {
    color: #000;
    font-size: 11px;
    font-family: robotomeduim, sans-serif;
    vertical-align:top;
    
}

.imagebox img{ display:block;}

<div class="container">
    <div class="imagebox">
        <img src="http://machdiamonds.com/n69xvs.jpg" /> <span class="text">Image title</span>
    </div>
    <div class="imagebox">
        <img src="http://machdiamonds.com/n69xvs.jpg" /> <span class="text">Image title</span>
    </div>
    <div class="imagebox">
        <img src="http://machdiamonds.com/n69xvs.jpg" /> <span class="text">Image title</span>
    </div>
    <div class="imagebox">
        <img src="http://machdiamonds.com/n69xvs.jpg" /> <span class="text">Image title</span>
    </div>
    <div class="imagebox">
        <img src="http://machdiamonds.com/n69xvs.jpg" /> <span class="text">Image title</span>
    </div>
    <div class="imagebox">
        <img src="http://machdiamonds.com/n69xvs.jpg" /> <span class="text">Image title</span>
    </div>
</div>

or you can edit the code a JS FIDDLE

Answer 5

I just added float:left to div and it worked

Answer 6

Another option suggested here is setting the style of the image as style="display: block;"
