Use the CSS display property

If you try to put an image inside a <div> element that has borders, you will see an extra white space (around 3px) at the bottom of image. It happens because image is an inline-level element so browser adds some whitespace under the baseline to adjust other inline elements.

The easiest way to get rid of this problem is to change the default display value of the image from inline to block, i.e. apply the style display: block; on images, as shown below:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Remove White Space Below Images</title>
<style>
    .img-box1, .img-box2{
        width: 125px;
        border: 4px solid #333;
    }
    .img-box2 img{
        display: block;
    }
</style>
</head>
<body>
    <h3>Default Behavior</h3>
    <div class="img-box1">
        <img src="/examples/images/club.jpg" alt="Club Card">
    </div>
    <br>
    <h3>After Changing Display Property</h3>
    <div class="img-box2">
        <img src="/examples/images/club.jpg" alt="Club Card">
    </div>
</body>
</html>
