HTML figcaption Tag

Last Updated : 11 Jul, 2025

The <figcaption> tag in HTML is used to provide a caption or description for a <figure> element.

  • This tag is typically used to describe an image, illustration, chart, or any other content that requires an explanation.
  • It helps to improve accessibility and search engine optimization (SEO) by associating descriptive text with visual content.
  • The <figcaption> element can be placed as the first or last child of the <figure> element. 

Syntax:

<figure>
 <img src="image.jpg" alt="Description of the image">
 <figcaption>This is the caption or description of the image.</figcaption>
</figure>

Note: This tag is new in HTML5. The <figcaption> tag also supports the Global Attributes and Event Attributes in HTML.
