I have a fixed height container in which I'd like to display an image and a caption. The requirement is that the image should scale to fit the available height while maintaining aspect ratio. The caption could be of variable height.
Below is a JS fiddle of what I have so far. I am unable to get the whitespace on the right and left side of the images to disappear (I've added a border to the img tag to show what I mean). Is it possible to remove the excess whitespace?

CSS
.container {
height: 200px;
flex: 1 1 auto;
display: flex;
flex-flow: row nowrap;
overflow-x: auto;
overflow-y: hidden;
}
.item {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
.text {
flex: 0 0 auto;
}
.image {
flex: 1 1 auto;
overflow: hidden;
object-fit: contain;
max-height: 100%;
width: auto;
border: solid;
}
This is similar to CSS object-fit: contain; is keeping original image width in layout but I was unable to fix it using the methods suggested in the accepted answer
"The requirement is that the image should scale to fit the available height while maintaining aspect ratio" - that's what it does in your code! If you would stretch the width ("to fill the whitespace"), either you would loose the aspect ratio and get a distorteded image, or - if the ratio is kept - the top and bottom of the image would be cut off since it would grow due to the extended width.
There is no other solution: Either there is some whitespace, or some of the image is cut off, or the image is distorted. Unless you change the dimensions of the parent container:
The only situation where your wish could be fulfilled: When the parent of the image has the same height/width proportion as the original image. So you would have to set height and width for the container accoring to the proportions of the image.

I have the following html:
<div class="row">
<div class="item">
<img src="image1" />
</div>
<div class="item">
<video>
<source src="video1" />
</video>
</div>
</div>
I'd like it for row to automatically adjust its height and for the subchildren of row to automatically adjust their widths and heights such that the aspect ratios of the content under the img and video tags remains the same, that row will have a width of 100%, and that there is no empty space within row.
In other words, I'm trying to make a content-responsive grid row with flexbox. Like so:
Except that rows and columns automatically change size to preserve image aspect ratios without creating gaps.
My current CSS attempt is as follows:
.row {
width: 100%;
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
flex-wrap: nowrap;
}
.item {
position: relative;
min-height: 100%;
}
.item video {
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%;
}
.item img {
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%;
}
There seems to be no effective way to do this with flexbox. The only example I could find of this working properly was on a wix website, which works by doing the following:
All items are positioned absolutely and have width and height set manually.
Initial width and height of all items are zero to prevent initial rendering problems.
A function is defined which manually calculates the correct position, width, and height of all items.
This function is called on every resize and immediately after page load.
I've been looking for an answer to this. I'd prefer a solution with just CSS, but I've been unable to find one.
I've got a popup of a fixed width, and it will grow in height if the contents are larger. Inside, I put an image which should take half of the popup while maintaining aspect ratio and being as large as possible without going off the screen, and a div to hold information about the image, which should also be half the screen, so that the image and div are side-by-side. Example here: https://codepen.io/Smarticles101/pen/WdmZLx
I can set a height on the image of 90vh to make it larger and a max-width of 50% to make sure it only takes half of the popup. However, if the window shrinks in width or if I make the fixed width of the popup smaller, the image will maintain height and max-width, thus not maintaining aspect ratio.
How can I make the image maintain aspect ratio while it shrinks in width?
Html:
<div id="popup">
<img src="https://images.freeimages.com/images/large-previews/12d/frangipani-02-1311438.jpg" alt="image" />
<div id="sidedata">
<h1>Image</h1>
<p>Some data about the image here</p>
</div>
</div>
<br />
<div id="popup">
<img src="https://www.w3schools.com/images/w3schools_green.jpg" />
</div>
CSS:
#popup {
max-width: 50%;
background-color: blue;
}
img {
height: 90vh;
max-width: 50%;
/*
The image will not maintain aspect ratio if the max-width is reached, it will maintain height as whatever it was set to originally rather than shrink in height.
*/
display: inline-block;
}
#sidedata {
max-width: 50%;
display: inline-block;
}
short anwser, hope that will help, try with max-height :
img {
max-height: 90vh;
max-width: 50%;
display: inline-block;
}
I need the image to take the entire width of the container unless the resulting height is bigger then the available container's viewport height.
Basically I want the image to be responsive but also that it should still fit the screen. If it doesn't fit the screen it should be scaled down, horizontally centered, and preferably added with black tiles on its sides.
Currently, my CSS class looks like this:
.img-responsive{
display: block;
max-width: 100%;
min-width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
I've tried to play around with max-height on the image, or on a dedicated container, nothing seemed to do the trick by pure CSS.
Clarifications:
I don't know the images dimensions in advance so can't just put them in a container with a preset size.
Basically, my goal is for the images to be always fully visible on the screen (if you scroll to the image) and take up the largest possible surface.
Here's a more detailed example:
Let's say I have scrollable container with a lot of content. The container takes up the entire viewport width (let's say its 500px) and the available visible height of the container is the entire viewport height minus a navbar height (let's say 1000px).
I can't know in advance what's the container's visible dimensions as it can always change.
Inside the container there's whatever, text, images, etc.
Now, for a given image, here are possible scenarios:
If the image is 500x800, it should be presented as is, as it takes up the entire available width, and height is no bigger then the container's visible height.
If the image is 500x2000, it should be scaled down to 250x1000
and horizontally centered. This will take up the entire visible container's height, and keep the image's aspect ratio
If the image is 250x300, it should be scaled up to 500x600, taking up the entire available width
If the image is 200x500, it should be scaled up to 400x1000, taking up the entire available height
If the image is 1000x1000, it should be scaled down to 500x500, taking up the entire available width
Here's a JSFiddle explaining the problem
I would advise against using the IMG tag for this. Rather use a div tag and then use background image properties. Here is the code for this, set the container size to whatever you like:
<div id="container"></div>
<style>
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
background-image: url('your url');
background-size: contain;
</style>
background-size: contain is what is best for this. It scales the image to the largest the image can be within the div without making it larger than its native size. Hope this helps
EDIT:
Forgot to add that if you want it to be in the center of the container, so that when the image doesnt fit the full size of the container there is the white space around it, you use the css code background-position: center center;
Mostly what you need is to give img elements two properties {max-width:100%} and {height: auto}
If you open the snippet below in full screen and resize your window (Note: image sizes are randomly chosen)
you will see how nice they play. They adhere to the max width and they don't overstretch themselves in any direction.
I added some code in there just to make this easier to show
like making giving images {display:block} and {padding-bottom}
body {
background: #131418;
text-align: center;
color: white;
font-size: 25px;
}
body,
.image-container,
.image-container img,
.smalldiv {
max-width: 100%;
}
.image-container img {
height: auto;
display: block;
padding-bottom: 1em;
}
.smalldiv {
/*for demnostration only */
width: 600px;
background: darkblue;
}
.smalldiv,
.image-container img {
margin: 0 auto;
}
<h3>Images will always keep their aspect ratio and they will always adhere to the width of their parent containers.</h3>

evilgenious448 answer comes really close, just that it only works with background images. What I have is:
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
margin: 0px;
}
.holder {
background-image: url('image1.JPG');
background-size: contain;
background-position: center center;
width: 100vw;
height: 100vh;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="holder">
<div class="inner">
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I do not know how to size the inner div equally to the image.
Here is an example with code and everything:
You can drag around the page to test.
--- When the viewport is higher / taller than the image, the image's width is the width of the viewport disregarding viewport height. On the other hand, when the viewport is wider than the image, the image uses the viewports height, disregarding its with.
#image {
background-image: url(https://media.cntraveller.com/photos/611bedcd231ed5e8dfa34573/16:9/w_2580,c_limit/sennen-cove-beach-britain-conde-nast-traveller-20april18-rex.jpg);
background-size: contain;
background-position: center center;
width: 100vw;
height: 100vh;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
<body id="body">
<div id="image" />
</body>
You can use height: 100% of the parent container (in my case its img-holder). And apply text-align: center to the parent. Like:
.img-holder {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
border: 1px solid #555;
text-align: center;
}
.img-holder img {
height: 100%;
}
Have al look at the snippet below:
.img-holder {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
border: 1px solid #555;
text-align: center;
}
img {
height: 100%;
}
<div class="img-holder">
<img src="http://placehold.it/100x200" alt="">
</div>
Hope this helps!
The best and the easiest way is to use vh and vw properties. vh when set to 100 takes up the complete Viewport Height and same goes with vw for width. Further, max height property may be added to stop image from stretching beyond its original dimensions.
I am trying to have 3 images aligned in one block. They have to stay in the same sized container and fit horizontally.
Here's the code:
<div class="container">
<img src="http://images2.webydo.com/31/313624/3958/21b785db-14ea-42f7-af0d-7e7a8d8019d9.jpg" />
<img src="http://images2.webydo.com/31/313624/3958/9657ddfd-81e8-4154-bc61-bbe30e4a8740.jpg" />
<img src="http://images2.webydo.com/31/313624/3958/909af36d-b941-4a20-9441-20505c035da3.jpg"/>
</div>
.container {
width: 300px;
height: 200px;
position:relative;
float: left;
text-align: center;
}
.container img {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
margin: 5px;
}
In my CSS solution, I divided the "container" class width by 3 (300px /3) and then subtracted 10px (which i got from padding-left and padding-right of each image). So a single image should have a width of 90px. However, I also wanted to subtract 5px more for browser spacing so the total width of each image should be 85px. Here is the code:
<html>
<head>
<style>
.container {
width: 300px;
height: 200px;
position:relative;
float: left;
text-align: center;
}
.container img {
width: 85px;
height: auto;
margin: 5px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<img src="http://images2.webydo.com/31/313624/3958/21b785db-14ea-42f7-af0d-7e7a8d8019d9.jpg" />
<img src="http://images2.webydo.com/31/313624/3958/9657ddfd-81e8-4154-bc61-bbe30e4a8740.jpg" />
<img src="http://images2.webydo.com/31/313624/3958/909af36d-b941-4a20-9441-20505c035da3.jpg"/>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Hm...I don't think you can have all three images in a horizontal line if you give them all a width:100%. That property would cause each image to take the full width of the container, meaning each image would be pushed to the next line.
You'll have to give the images a smaller width to fit them all on one line. 100% / 3 = 33.3% (rounded), so use that instead. Here's some modified CSS for .container img that seems to work:
.container img {
width: 33.3%;
height: auto;
padding:5px;
box-sizing:border-box;
-moz-box-sizing:border-box;
}
Note that in addition to changing the images' widths, I also changed the margin to padding, and made use of the box-sizing attribute (read more about it here). This lets you keep that same spacing of 5px around images, without bumping any images onto a second line.
Also, the HTML needs to be altered slightly. In this case, we're taking advantage of the <img> element's default display:inline-block to have them all display on the same line. However, any whitespace in between this kind of element will result in a space between the images, so that needs to be eliminated:
<div class="container">
<img src="http://images2.webydo.com/31/313624/3958/21b785db-14ea-42f7-af0d-7e7a8d8019d9.jpg" /><img src="http://images2.webydo.com/31/313624/3958/9657ddfd-81e8-4154-bc61-bbe30e4a8740.jpg" /><img src="http://images2.webydo.com/31/313624/3958/909af36d-b941-4a20-9441-20505c035da3.jpg"/>
</div>
If you don't understand what I mean by that, try formatting each <img> element onto its own line in the HTML, and see how that affects their positioning.
Here's a JSFiddle so you can see what this achieves. Let me know if you have any questions, and I'll be happy to help further!
EDIT: Alternatively, if you really want to keep the whitespace between your <img> elements in your HTML, you could compensate for the unwanted extra space with a negative margin. Just add margin-right:-4px; to your styles for .container img. Updated JSFiddle to show what this results in.
I want to make layout where I will have different full width backgrounds. For example top is full width orange color, inside the full width div I have container that keeps everything in specific dimension (width: 1000px). And I met a problem, The content of the container div doesnt stretch the full width div. So right now to keep it work, I have to set in .orange and .red specific height. But this is not the solution, because right now my block has xxx heights, what If I add something like more pictures - I have to set bigger hight etc...
Here is what I mean:
HTML
<div class="full-width orange">
<div class="container">
content
</div>
</div>
<div class="full-width red">
<div class="container">
content 2
</div>
</div>
CSS
.full-width {
clear: both;
width: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
.container {
width: 1000px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
overflow: hidden;
}
.orange {
background-color: orange;
}
.red {
background-color: red;
}
I am sorry for my bad english.
if you put more content into your DIVs, they will stretch. their default height is auto (http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_dim_height.asp) which automatically stretches the div to the height it needs to be. if you set height to a percentage, the div will be that percentage of it's parent container.
here is a JS fiddle for you to play with http://jsfiddle.net/dv9ah/
i set the
height: auto;
in both the .red and .orange classes, but you can change them to a set height (like 100px) to see how they change.
