Html css body background image size

HTML Background Images

A background image can be specified for almost any HTML element.

Background Image on a HTML element

To add a background image on an HTML element, use the HTML style attribute and the CSS background-image property:

Example

Add a background image on a HTML element:

You can also specify the background image in the element, in the section:

Example

Specify the background image in the element:

Background Image on a Page

If you want the entire page to have a background image, you must specify the background image on the element:

Example

Add a background image for the entire page:

Background Repeat

If the background image is smaller than the element, the image will repeat itself, horizontally and vertically, until it reaches the end of the element:

Example

To avoid the background image from repeating itself, set the background-repeat property to no-repeat .

Example

Background Cover

If you want the background image to cover the entire element, you can set the background-size property to cover.

Also, to make sure the entire element is always covered, set the background-attachment property to fixed:

This way, the background image will cover the entire element, with no stretching (the image will keep its original proportions):

Example

Background Stretch

If you want the background image to stretch to fit the entire element, you can set the background-size property to 100% 100% :

Try resizing the browser window, and you will see that the image will stretch, but always cover the entire element.

Example

background-size

The background-size CSS property sets the size of the element’s background image. The image can be left to its natural size, stretched, or constrained to fit the available space.

Try it

Spaces not covered by a background image are filled with the background-color property, and the background color will be visible behind background images that have transparency/translucency.

Syntax

/* Keyword values */ background-size: cover; background-size: contain; /* One-value syntax */ /* the width of the image (height becomes 'auto') */ background-size: 50%; background-size: 3.2em; background-size: 12px; background-size: auto; /* Two-value syntax */ /* first value: width of the image, second value: height */ background-size: 50% auto; background-size: 3em 25%; background-size: auto 6px; background-size: auto auto; /* Multiple backgrounds */ background-size: auto, auto; /* Not to be confused with `auto auto` */ background-size: 50%, 25%, 25%; background-size: 6px, auto, contain; /* Global values */ background-size: inherit; background-size: initial; background-size: revert; background-size: revert-layer; background-size: unset; 

The background-size property is specified in one of the following ways:

• Using the keyword values contain or cover .
• Using a width value only, in which case the height defaults to auto .
• Using both a width and a height value, in which case the first sets the width and the second sets the height. Each value can be a , a , or auto .

To specify the size of multiple background images, separate the value for each one with a comma.

Values

Scales the image as large as possible within its container without cropping or stretching the image. If the container is larger than the image, this will result in image tiling, unless the background-repeat property is set to no-repeat .

Scales the image (while preserving its ratio) to the smallest possible size to fill the container (that is: both its height and width completely cover the container), leaving no empty space. If the proportions of the background differ from the element, the image is cropped either vertically or horizontally.

Scales the background image in the corresponding direction such that its intrinsic proportions are maintained.

Stretches the image in the corresponding dimension to the specified length. Negative values are not allowed.

Stretches the image in the corresponding dimension to the specified percentage of the background positioning area. The background positioning area is determined by the value of background-origin (by default, the padding box). However, if the background’s background-attachment value is fixed , the positioning area is instead the entire viewport. Negative values are not allowed.

Intrinsic dimensions and proportions

The computation of values depends on the image’s intrinsic dimensions (width and height) and intrinsic proportions (width-to-height ratio). These attributes are as follows:

• A bitmap image (such as JPG) always has intrinsic dimensions and proportions.
• A vector image (such as SVG) does not necessarily have intrinsic dimensions. If it has both horizontal and vertical intrinsic dimensions, it also has intrinsic proportions. If it has no dimensions or only one dimension, it may or may not have proportions.
• CSS s have no intrinsic dimensions or intrinsic proportions.
• Background images created with the element() function use the intrinsic dimensions and proportions of the generating element.

Note: In Gecko, background images created using the element() function are currently treated as images with the dimensions of the element, or of the background positioning area if the element is SVG, with the corresponding intrinsic proportion. This is non-standard behavior.

Based on the intrinsic dimensions and proportions, the rendered size of the background image is computed as follows:

• If both components of background-size are specified and are not auto : The background image is rendered at the specified size.
• If the background-size is contain or cover : While preserving its intrinsic proportions, the image is rendered at the largest size contained within, or covering, the background positioning area. If the image has no intrinsic proportions, then it’s rendered at the size of the background positioning area.
• If the background-size is auto or auto auto :
  • If the image has both horizontal and vertical intrinsic dimensions, it’s rendered at that size.
  • If the image has no intrinsic dimensions and has no intrinsic proportions, it’s rendered at the size of the background positioning area.
  • If the image has no intrinsic dimensions but has intrinsic proportions, it’s rendered as if contain had been specified instead.
  • If the image has only one intrinsic dimension and has intrinsic proportions, it’s rendered at the size corresponding to that one dimension. The other dimension is computed using the specified dimension and the intrinsic proportions.
  • If the image has only one intrinsic dimension but has no intrinsic proportions, it’s rendered using the specified dimension and the other dimension of the background positioning area.

  Note: SVG images have a preserveAspectRatio attribute that defaults to the equivalent of contain ; an explicit background-size causes preserveAspectRatio to be ignored.

  • If the image has intrinsic proportions, it’s stretched to the specified dimension. The unspecified dimension is computed using the specified dimension and the intrinsic proportions.
  • If the image has no intrinsic proportions, it’s stretched to the specified dimension. The unspecified dimension is computed using the image’s corresponding intrinsic dimension, if there is one. If there is no such intrinsic dimension, it becomes the corresponding dimension of the background positioning area.

  Note: Background sizing for vector images that lack intrinsic dimensions or proportions is not yet fully implemented in all browsers. Be careful about relying on the behavior described above, and test in multiple browsers to be sure the results are acceptable.

  Examples

  Tiling a large image

  Let’s consider a large image, a 2982×2808 Firefox logo image. We want to tile four copies of this image into a 300×300-pixel element. To do this, we can use a fixed background-size value of 150 pixels.

  HTML

  div class="tiledBackground">div> 

  CSS

  .tiledBackground  background-image: url(https://www.mozilla.org/media/img/logos/firefox/logo-quantum.9c5e96634f92.png); background-size: 150px; width: 300px; height: 300px; border: 2px solid; color: pink; >

  Resizing background images with background-size

  The background-size CSS property lets you resize the background image of an element, overriding the default behavior of tiling the image at its full size by specifying the width and/or height of the image. By doing so, you can scale the image upward or downward as desired.

  Tiling a large image

  Let’s consider a large image, a 2982×2808 Firefox logo image. We want (for some reason likely involving horrifyingly bad site design) to tile four copies of this image into a 300×300-pixel element. To do this, we can use a fixed background-size value of 150 pixels.

  HTML

  div class="tiledBackground">div> 

  CSS

  .tiledBackground  background-image: url(https://www.mozilla.org/media/img/logos/firefox/logo-quantum.9c5e96634f92.png); background-size: 150px; width: 300px; height: 300px; border: 2px solid; color: pink; >

  Stretching an image

  You can also specify both the horizontal and vertical sizes of the image, like this:

  background-size: 300px 150px; 

  The result looks like this:

  Scaling an image up

  On the other end of the spectrum, you can scale an image up in the background. Here we scale a 32×32 pixel favicon to 300×300 pixels:

  .square2  background-image: url(favicon.png); background-size: 300px; width: 300px; height: 300px; border: 2px solid; text-shadow: white 0px 0px 2px; font-size: 16px; > 

  As you can see, the CSS is actually essentially identical, save the name of the image file.

  Special values: «contain» and «cover»

  Besides values, the background-size CSS property offers two special size values, contain and cover . Let’s take a look at these.

  contain

  The contain value specifies that, regardless of the size of the containing box, the background image should be scaled so that each side is as large as possible while not exceeding the length of the corresponding side of the container. Try resizing the example below to see this in action.

  HTML

  div class="bgSizeContain"> p>Try resizing this element!p> div> 

  CSS

  .bgSizeContain  background-image: url(https://www.mozilla.org/media/img/logos/firefox/logo-quantum.9c5e96634f92.png); background-size: contain; width: 160px; height: 160px; border: 2px solid; color: pink; resize: both; overflow: scroll; > 

  Result

  cover

  The cover value specifies that the background image should be sized so that it is as small as possible while ensuring that both dimensions are greater than or equal to the corresponding size of the container. Try resizing the example below to see this in action.

  HTML

  div class="bgSizeCover"> p>Try resizing this element!p> div> 

  CSS

  .bgSizeCover  background-image: url(https://www.mozilla.org/media/img/logos/firefox/logo-quantum.9c5e96634f92.png); background-size: cover; width: 160px; height: 160px; border: 2px solid; color: pink; resize: both; overflow: scroll; >
