Is there a general rule regarding alignment of relatively narrow images within single-column online text, like blog posts?

Consider a blog post featuring column of text in which images occasionally appear. The images are generally narrower than the text itself (anywhere from, say, 20% to 70%-80%), and they're usually aligned to the left or to the center (in Left-To-Right alphabets).

I find centered images more aesthetically pleasing than left-aligned ones, but I wonder if there's a general convention about it, and whether the answer differs on any other factors (like article size or font type).

Update - following the comments, I'm definitely not trying to start an opinion debate here, just to learn whether there is a standard / common wisdom / rule of thumb except for personal aesthetic sense.

There is no established conventions. If you like centred images and they work with your content, use centred images.

It's that simple :)

Side note, a general rule of thumb for an "average" I use is to keep images between 50% to 100% the width of your content, any smaller and it might look a little odd. Of course, this like all design, is dependant on the that actual content you have.
