background-size: cover stretching on certain phones - html

The background image of the header of my site is stretching and warping in weird ways on certain mobile phones.
Here's the link to the site - https://jaels-creations-stage.callgage.co/
Here's the code for the background image, it s a child of the header container:
.header .background-image {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-position: center 92%;
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
z-index: -1;
/* On Load Animation */
opacity: 0;
}
I've been trying to figure this out for a long while now, I can't replicate it on my macbook, and with devtools remote devices I can't figure out a proper way to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try height:auto; that will cause css to retain the image's natural aspect ratio

I think is because you need to set the eight to auto
bg {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
min-height: 100%;
/* set your own */
min-width: 1440px;
/* Set up proportionate scaling */
width: 100%;
height: auto;
/* Use this if you have your images set to fixed. It will promote the layer */
transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
}

css and html making a picture fit the background

How to make an image fit the background. Here is what I have done so far?
Here is my css attempt:
#bio{
min-height: 100%;
min-width: 1024px;
/* Set up proportionate scaling */
width: 100%;
height: auto;
/* Set up positioning */
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
This is hosted on JsFiddle
The good alternative to regular img is a div with background-image, it's easier to position it. Here is the working fiddle:
https://jsfiddle.net/oy3wrzwv/3/
And a snippet:
#bio {
min-height: 100%;
min-width: 1024px;
/* Set up proportionate scaling */
width: 100%;
height: auto;
/* Set up positioning */
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
background-image: url("https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1499561385668-5ebdb06a79bc?auto=format&fit=crop&w=1949&q=80");
background-size: cover;
background-position: center center;
}
<div id="bio"></div>
Since you are trying to make an image the background, you might want to consider removing your HTML code, that is:
<img src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1499561385668-5ebdb06a79bc?auto=format&fit=crop&w=1949&q=80" id="bio">
And use this as your CSS code:
body {
background-image: url(https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1499561385668-5ebdb06a79bc?auto=format&fit=crop&w=1949&q=80);
min-height: 100%;
min-width: 1024px;
/* Set up proportionate scaling */
width: 100%;
height: auto;
/* Set up positioning */
position: flex;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
In the code above I also changed the position to flex so that the image as a whole can be seen and doesn't get hidden, as I had seen when you set it to fixed instead. Let me know if you need any more help!

Image doesn't fill width even though width is set to 100% on larger monitors

I have this in my CSS:
.cover .cover-image {
z-index: -1;
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-size:100%;
background-size: cover;
background-position: center;
}
I also have this in my HTML:
<div class="cover-image" style="background-image : url('./bkg.jpg');">
bkg.jpg is a 1939x1131 image - bigger than any of my monitors. On my smallest (1280x1024) monitor, it displays fine:
On my medium (1440x900) and large (1920x1080) monitor - both of which are smaller than the image - it shows a bit of white between the image and the scrollbar:
Why does this show, and how do I fix it?
Check your image source
https://chipperyman.com/dota/bkg.jpg
You have a white bar on your image.
double on background-size your code, please fix background-size:100%, otherwise you will get issue.. And i mean you not need using background-size because your image already bigger than your screen..
you need normalize html, body
html, body {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
there.
Basically you are having an absolute positioning bug here. Just add 'left: 0px;' to your .cover .cover-image selector as per following:
.cover .cover-image {
z-index: -1;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-size:100%; /* old browser fallback, but I'd delete it */
background-size: cover; /* duplicate of background-size */
background-position: center;
}
Here is also a jsfiddle example of fixing it: http://jsfiddle.net/webyourway/868L6hhg/

CSS HTML fixing a div on a certain point in a parent image

I', hoping this makes sense but I have HTML code that I have a child which is an svg animation, I'm wanting to have the section responsive so that the position of the svg stays where its meant to be on the map.
I have selected the coast of Africa as a point that I want to keep the SVG in place when the page is resized, but when it is resized you will see that the red marker moves across the rest of Africa.
You can see the jsFiddle for the Source Code and see the result to the full map.
.about-header__map .angola {
position: inherit;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
.about-header__map .angola svg {
top: 49%;
left: 42.5%;
position: absolute;
}
Use the width of the image (1440px) instead of width:100%
.about-header__map {
background: url(http://i.imgur.com/ZqQvEUK.png) no-repeat center center !important;
width: 1440px; /*here */
background-size: cover;
height: 500px;
position: absolute;
z-index: -1;
}
FIDDLE
Use a fixed width in .about-header__map
.about-header__map {
background: url(http://i.imgur.com/ZqQvEUK.png) no-repeat center center !important;
background-size: cover;
height: 500px;
position: absolute;
width: 1500px;
z-index: -1;
}

Scale all images to fit container proportionally

I am building a customization script where a user can upload an image and drag it around a template image to get a desired result. The problem is the template image is over 1000px tall and wide, so I put it inside a container limiting it's height/width.
How do I make it so the uploaded image is scaled exactly the same so when I create the image via PHP I can take the left: and top: CSS values and apply them to the much larger template image and uploaded image?
Current CSS:
#template {
position: relative;
padding: 0;
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
z-index: 1;
}
#uploaded {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
z-index: 2;
}
I'm not quite sure if that is what you are asking for … anyway:
The CSS3 property background-size: 100% lets you specify that the background image of should fill out the container's size and stretch proportionally. Together with background-repeat: no-repeat it might be what you are looking for:
#uploaded {
height: 500px;
width: 500px;
background-image: url(...);
background-size: 100%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

How to make background image go in the "background" using CSS/HTML

I want to fill my page with a background image and have the text aligned in place with that background. With the below code, the background image loads at the top of the page, and the text goes under it. I know I can use the "background: " function, but the way it is done in my below code allows for automatic resizing, regardless of browser size (i.e., mobile devices have small browser sizes). So, I just want the background image to go behind the text.
<html>
<head>
<title>Title</title>
<style>
img.bg
{
min-height: 100%;
min-width; 781;
width: 100%;
height: auto;
top: 0;
left: 0;
z-index: -1;
}
#media screen and (max-width: 781)
{
img.bg
{
left: 50%;
margin-left: -390.5;
}
}
#container
{
position: relative;
width: 781;
margin: 50 px auto;
height: 758;
border: 1px solid black
}
#left
{
position: relative;
left: 1.280409731113956%;
top: 14.51187335092348%;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
width: 50%;
height: 50%;
color: #FFFFFF;
position: relative;
}
p
{
font: 14px Georgia;
}
</style>
</head>
HTML
<img class="bg" src="background.jpg">
<div id="container">
<div id="left">
<p>
Text
</p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Make your BG image have a z-index of 1, and your #container div to have a z-index of 2. Does that work?
img {
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
}
#container {
position: relative;
z-index: 2;
top: 0px;
left: 0px; /*or whatever top/left values you need*/
}
Just use position: fixed for your background image http://dabblet.com/gist/3136606
img.bg {
min-height: 100%;
min-width: 781px;
width: 100%;
top: 0;
left: 0;
position: fixed;
z-index: -1;
}
EDIT (I wish there was a way to make it more visible than this)
OK, after reading the comments for the original question, I understand that the purpose is to have a background that scales nicely for any display sizes.
Unfortunately, quite a lot of mobile devices have a problem with position: fixed - you can read more about this here.
So the best solution in this case is to use a background image, not an img tag, having the background-size set to 100% (which will stretch the image - example), or to cover (which will scale the image such that it completely covers the screen - example)
Well, maybe you can also try that css:
body{
background: url(images/bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
it's should cover all youre page even when page size is changed
