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 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.
So I want to do something like this, having an image as the fullbackground of a website.
However, I keep trying and trying with ridiculously huge images (The one on my JSFiddle is 6000 x 4000 I think) and they're all still small and get on low resolution when I scale them to fit the website.
Here is my JSFiddle showing my CSS code.
body {
background-image: url(https://snappygoat.com/b/d6249bb487c44ca8e93f4bc0faa46c8f1df7c690);
background-color: #464646;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
Any help appreciated.
The background cover approach is correct and the resolution of the image shouldn't matter if not for the quality of the image itself (you can have a 400px image fill a 3000px element).
The image will always adapt to fill its container and what I noticed in your fiddle is that the container of the image seems to be the problem, not the image itself.
here's your fiddle, edited with the background element height and width set.
{
height: 100vh;
width: 100vh;
/* Bonus: I think you want your background centered, as in the example that you provided */
background-position: center center;
}
https://jsfiddle.net/edLm73r2/
The image you are used on the example fiddle is very small(768 x 512)

Go for some large image if you want to make it as full screen background. May be use this one from unsplash https://unsplash.com/photos/It0DCaCBr40
body {
background: url(https://source.unsplash.com/user/nolanissac/It0DCaCBr40) #464646 no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
It looks like wherever the image is being hosted is not serving the full resolution of the image or quality.
I found the image you are using from a stock image site here and downloaded a re-uploaded so it stays it's full size.
body {
background-image: url(https://i.lensdump.com/i/itbHyH.jpg);
background-color: #464646;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
background-position-x: center;
background-position-y: center;
background-attachment: fixed;
}
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.
So I have an image (w:1638px h:2048px) and I set it as my background using the background-image function and then trying to give it width: 100%; and height: 100%; attributes. It stretches the image across the screen horizontally but then it makes me scroll down for the rest of it. I want no scrolling. Is there a way to crop/position a portrait orientated image to look proportional and fill the screen as a background properly? Should I make it a different size in Photoshop, something landscape orientated?
I have a regular <div class="bgimage></div> in the html and the css looks like this:
.bgimage {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background-image: url(images/background.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
position: absolute;
}
Is there something I'm missing or not doing correctly? I'm using Dreamweaver CS6 and viewing it in the latest versions of Firefox/Safari.
Thank you.
If you're setting the background for the whole page, just style the body element instead:
body {
background-image: url(images/background.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}

I am just trying to set my background but this image will not work. It is between 15 to 20MB in size so I tried to turn it into 5MB. Still no luck. I made a really small image, 25KB size, and that worked but just repeated. My localhost will not show big images either. Is there some limit? What do I need to do to get a full image page?
body {
background-image:url(background.jpg);
}
Do this to avoid repeating the image:
body
{
background-image:url(background.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
You can also experiment with background-size: cover like this:
body
{
background-image: url("http://www.google.com/doodle4google/images/carousel-winner2012.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
background-attachment: fixed;
}
Here's a demo at JS Bin with a beautiful Doodle 4 Google as the background image to test the behavior:
http://jsbin.com/ivexah/2
you need to assign a width and height to body.
for example:
html, body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
You can use the shorthand background css property:
background: url(background.jpg) no-repeat;
Also your body might not have a height of 100% because there's no content on your page. Either give your html and body a height of 100% or add more content to your page.
To make a background image cover its entire container use background-size:
background-size: cover;
IE8 and lower don't support this. For those browsers you need a javascript fallback. There's an excellent article on css-tricks.com that shows different techniques.
You shouldn't have any "size" limitation on your background image. More than likely, you're file is so large that you are not waiting long enough for it to load OR you have not set a width and height. Without the dimensions, the element tahat you are trying to load the background image will essentially have a size of 0px x 0px. See the following jsfiddle example:
http://jsfiddle.net/GymxW/1/
The HTML:
<div class="container"></div>
The CSS:
.container {
width: 400px;
height: 100px;
background-image: url(http://dummyimage.com/400x100/4d494d/686a82.gif&text=background+image);
background-repeat: none;
background-position: 0 0;
}
IMPORTANT: If you are wanting to have an image that is "stretched" to the full size of the viewport, a simple solution is to use a plugin, such as Backstretch.
