To make an image adjust its size based on the screen width, you can use CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and the `max-width` property. Here's a general approach:

1. Add an HTML `<img>` tag to your webpage with the desired image source:

```html
<img src="path_to_your_image.jpg" alt="Image description">
```

2. Apply CSS to the `<img>` tag to make it responsive. Use the `max-width` property and set its value to `100%`:

```html
<style>
   img {
       max-width: 100%;
       height: auto;
   }
</style>
```

By setting `max-width: 100%`, the image will automatically adjust its size to fit within its parent container or the screen width, whichever is smaller. The `height: auto` ensures that the image's aspect ratio is maintained, preventing distortion.

Remember to place the CSS code either within the `<head>` section of your HTML file or in an external CSS file and link it to your HTML.

With this approach, the image will dynamically resize based on the screen width, providing a responsive experience for different devices and screen sizes.
