For example, if you have an image that is originally 200 pixels high. Then, you style the image with CSS/or by using the HTML "height" attribute to make it 500 pixels high. The naturalHeight property will return "200", the height property however, will return 500.
Tip: Use the naturalWidth property to return the original width of an image, or the width property to set or return the value of the width attribute of an image.
Note: This property is read-only.
