I'm trying to show a background image using CSS, but the image does not display. I am doing the exact same thing as the w3schools.com, but it does not work.
How do I show a background image for the entire page?
codepen
div {
background-image: url('https://imgur.com/a/Fql6rTU');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
<div>
</div>
1.When you are displaying an image in a division use background-size: cover so thaat image covers the division fully and then try to mention the height and width of the division.
2.You have given the wrong URL for the image and correct it and it will work.
Hope this is what you are looking for
div {
height: 100vh;
width: 100vw;
background-image: url('https://i.imgur.com/kkQFh8p.jpg');
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
<div>
</div>
You are using an IMGUR page URL instead of actual image URL - open the page, right-click the image, and pick "copy image link" (also shown separately after uploading)
body {
background-image: url(https://i.imgur.com/kkQFh8p.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
}
background-image url parameter need to be with image format extension, you need to change it on
https://i.imgur.com/kkQFh8p.jpg
You have to put there height with for that div which is with background image
div{
background:#006;padding:50px 0; background:url(https://www.nationalgeographic.com/content/dam/travel/rights-exempt/2018-travel-photographer-of-the-year/magical-mountains/dawn-vestrahorn-iceland-mountains.jpg); background-size:cover;
width:100%;
height:500px;
}
<div></div>
Hope so this will help you Thanks.

I am trying to make a picture cover the whole screen. What do I miss and what have I typed wrong? Do i need everything?
HTML
<img src="Universet.jpg" id="universet">
CSS
#universet {
height: 100%;
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
If you are trying to make this image the background image of your whole page you can set it on the body element like so:
body {
background-image: url("Universet.jpg");
}
you may need additional styling to get it just to your liking depending on image size.
i'm pretty new to CSS but I made something in illustrator (web)and wanted to put this as background-image in css. I've put the image in a <div> and CSS in I just put background-image: url(berg.jpg), i'm sure the url is correct, but it doesn't display anything. I've put height: 100% in css after that and it showed up but it was all zoomed in and only displays a small corner of the picture because of the zoom. How can I display this correctly? The image size is width: 1366px; height:768px.
Sorry if this is already asked but I couldn't seem to find it. Thx on advance.
Your image is displaying as full size. If you add the background-size attribute to your css, you can define the size.
See this link for all background-size options:
https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background-size.asp
You can also define the background-position to have image centered, etc.
https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_background-position.asp
CSS example
#problem-image {
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
background-image: url('https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1463852247062-1bbca38f7805?auto=format&fit=crop&w=2255&q=60&ixid=dW5zcGxhc2guY29tOzs7Ozs%3D');
}
#correct-image {
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
background-image: url('https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1463852247062-1bbca38f7805?auto=format&fit=crop&w=2255&q=60&ixid=dW5zcGxhc2guY29tOzs7Ozs%3D');
background-size: cover;
background-position: center center;
}

You can try to put bakcground-size: cover; in your CSS code and this will ocupe all background of your div independent of width or height.
I'm trying to create a webpage. I'm having a little difficulty
with getting my background picture to show up. I had it up and running, but I decided I wanted to give it a responsive design, and I can't figure it out. This is my code for the image:
<style>
body .title_img {
background-image: url("SplashScreen.jpg");
height: auto;
width: 100%;
background-position: center;
z-index: -1;
}
</style>
<div class="title_img">
<!-- Background Splash Screen -->
</div>
If I give the height/width a definitive size (pixels) it shows up. I don't understand why 100% width with auto height wouldn't give me a picture that is 100% the size of the body (which I THINK i have made sure it was the 100% of the html document) and a height that is automatically proportional to the width. Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong?
EDIT- Added the HTML code.
Full-Page Background Images
I think what you are trying to create, is a full-page background image for your website. Based off of reading the code you provided, I believe you want something that does the following:
Fills entire page with image, no white space
Scales image as needed
Retains image proportions (aspect ratio)
Image is centered on page
Does not cause scrollbars
As cross-browser compatible as possible
Isn't some fancy shenanigans like Flash
If that is what you are trying to create, then I found a few lines of code that could help. Here is an example of how you could go about doing this with your image using css:
CSS File (That's where the magic happens):
html {
background: url("SplashScreen.jpg") no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
Just make sure your html file is setup correctly to use the css file, and it should create a cool background image you can use for your websites.
You can read more into this here and learn more about what makes this work.
Try setting height: 100% in body and html in your css:
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
And then put background-size: cover in body .title_img:
body .title_img {
background-image: url("SplashScreen.jpg");
height: 100%;
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
z-index: -1;
}
See reference here.
Use
background-size: cover
or
background-size:100% 100%.
with
background-repeat: no-repeat
That will set it to 100% of its container.
I'm trying to make a GIF fit my whole screen, but so far its just a small square that is on my screen while the rest is white. However, I want it to take up all the space.
Any ideas?
if it's background, use background-size: cover;
body{
background-image: url('http://i.stack.imgur.com/kx8MT.gif');
background-size: cover;
height: 100vh;
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
IMG Method
If you want the image to be a stand alone element, use this CSS:
#selector {
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
With this HTML:
<img src='folder/image.gif' id='selector'/>
Fiddle
Please note that the img tag would have to be inside the body tag ONLY. If it were inside anything else, it may not fill the entire screen based on the other elements properties. This method will also not work if the page is taller than the image. It will leave white space. This is where the background method comes in
Background Image Method
If you want it to be the background image of you page, you can use this CSS:
body {
background-image:url('folder/image.gif');
background-size:100%;
background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-attachment: fixed;
height:100%;
width:100%;
}
Fiddle
Or the shorthand version:
body {
background:url('folder/image.gif') repeat-y 100% 100% fixed;
height:100%;
width:100%;
}
Fiddle
You can set up a background with your GIF file and set the body this way:
body{
background-image:url('http://www.example.com/yourfile.gif');
background-position: center;
background-size: cover;
}
Change background image URL with your GIF. With background-position: center you can put the image to the center and with background-size: cover you set the picture to fit all the screen. You can also set background-size: contain if you want to fit the picture at 100% of the screen but without leaving any part of the picture without showing.
Here's more info about the property:
http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background-size.asp
Hope it helps :)
if you're happy using it as a background image and CSS3 then background-size: cover; would do the trick
This should do what you're looking for.
CSS:
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
.gif-container {
background: url("image.gif") center;
background-size: cover;
height: 100%;
}
HTML:
<div class="gif-container"></div>
In your CSS Style tag put this:
body {
background: url('yourgif.gif') no-repeat center center fixed;
background-size: cover;
}
Also make sure that it's parent size is 100%
I have a large image that I want to set as the background for a 404 page. I want the image to be 100% wide every time someone loads the page, so that if their screen is smaller the image becomes smaller, if the screen is bigger, the image stretches. The height should change based on the width, it doesn't need to be the height of the page.
I don't have the code for this. Would it be better to do it in the HTML file or the CSS file?
Can you possible create a JSfiddle that could serve as an example? Thanks!
Just add this to your CSS code...
body {
background-image:url('http://imageshack.com/scaled/large/268/gjb.png');
background-size:100%,100%;
}
And then create a body...
<body>
Dummy Code
</body>
jsFiddle
This is best left to CSS. Hard to tell without your code exactly, but the following should do what you want:
CSS
html {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
body {
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
#background {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-image: url('http://www.placekitten.com/200/200');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 100%;
}
HTML
<div id="background">
<div id="content">
Hello world!
</div>
</div>
UPDATE
See the fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/DrydenLong/jywbd/
UPDATE #2
I'd like to point out, just in case those reading through don't see the comments on my post below, that while applying the background-image property directly to the body selector is simpler, it will also apply that same image to every page referencing that CSS file. Should you choose to use a single CSS file for your entire website, my code above will make it easier to have different background images for the 404 page and the rest of the site.
HTML Body content
none
CSS
html {
background: url(http://www.astrophotography.co.nz/Lrg_Slides/20120619Milkyway.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
Demo(updated)
I think what you are really looking for is a background-attachment property.
body {
background-image:url('http://IMAGEURL');
background-attachment:fixed;
width: 100%;
}
You dont need to setup height property here, it's done for you automatically.
How about this:
body{background:url(http://www.astrophotography.co.nz/Lrg_Slides/20120619Milkyway.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat; background-size:100% auto;}
