Nope, you can do it all in a single file with an html/png polyglot (and nowadays you can get better compression ratios with newer formats like webp).

You can even make the file compatible with ZIP (and PDF) on top of that, see https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/Polyglot-HTML-ZIP-PNG/raw/... (and https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/Polyglot-HTML-ZIP-PNG)
