Trying to get the three images to all be responsive and the same size.
For some reason, this code is causing the third image to be smaller than the other two. Any idea why?
It's weird because when I remove the max-width from the .side-content-image img in the CSS the images are the same size. But as soon as it is applied the third one is smaller than the other two.
I eliminated, hopefully, extraneous code from this HTML. This is all in a container with a specific width.
code:
.side-content-image {
width: 35%;
height: auto;
border: 1px solid blue;
}
.side-content-image img {
max-width: 100%;
}
<div class="side-content">
<div class="side-content-image">
<img src="./resources/images/information-orientation.jpg" alt="God
view of people walking on a path">
</div>
</div>
<div class="side-content">
<div class="side-content-image">
<img src="./resources/images/information-campus.jpg" alt="room
with people at tables and world map on a wall">
</div>
</div>
<div class="side-content">
<div class="side-content-image">
<img src="./resources/images/information-guest-lecture.jpg" alt="old
man with glasses looking off into the distance">
</div>
I can't replicate the problem: https://jsfiddle.net/ee06wyzy/
So I'm guessing:
1) The images aspect ratio being different might cause some issues, also depending if any of the images are not big enough to fill in the container's size. Try using same image in all three places and see if the problem persists.
.side-content-image img {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
2) The problem might be the side-content-image - width: 35%, three of them will add up to 105% which might force side-content-image divs to shrink down if the 3 divs are displayed inline.
Try this and see if it is fixed:
.side-content-image {
width: 33%;
height: auto;
border: 1px solid blue;
}

I am accessing an API with different product images. These images are not always the same dimensions unfortunately. I want to display them in a 250x250 div.
So sometimes the image is portrait and the image should be scaled on based on the height (not filling the full 250px width). Sometimes it is landscape and it should be scaled to the width (not filling the full 250px) height.
Honestly I have no clue how to do this (with CSS - if possible at all) so any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
edit
it was mentioned in the comments that it duplicates question: Scale image with css to both width and height to scale there is overlap indeed - however i did not find the answers at this question satisfying enough (for my understanding).
Sounds like you want to be applying images using background-image and giving them background-size: contain:
.product-img {
width: 250px;
height: 250px;
background-image: url(path/to/image);
background-size: contain;
}
As Georgy Malanichev pointed, background is a nice option,
if you also need the images for being indexed to get better SEO, you can set it with max-height and max-width CSS property:
div.imgContainer{
float: left;
width: 250px;
height: 250px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
div.imgContainer > img {
max-width: 250px;
max-height: 250px;
}
<div class="imgContainer">

As you can see if you inspect, all divs are 250x250 px, and the images fit in resizing when needed.
Use the other answer for backgound image, documentation is here for what contain does https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/background-size
If you have to use an image and cannot use background image or you want the image tags in the html for better SEO then use the below. By setting both max width and height to 250px, it automatically sizes the image correctly. It will stop sizing once either one of the dimensions reaches 250
.test1 {background: blue;}
.test2 {background: green;}
.test2 img,
.test1 img{
max-width: 250px;
max-height: 250px;
}
.test1,
.test2 {
text-align: center;
width: 250px;
height: 250px;
}
<div class="test1">
<img src="https://wallpaperbrowse.com/media/images/_89716241_thinkstockphotos-523060154.jpg" />
</div>
<div class="test2">

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 creating a mobile e-mail template (means no javascript) which has to be responsive.
I want to place several images inline, which are scaled down as the screen gets narrower. I did this by using css table and table-cell, and let the image scale. No problem so far.
However, since images are often blocked by e-mail clients, I was requested to create a kind of placeholder in grey, showing the image "alt text" when the image is not loaded. I want this placeholder to be of the same size as the contained image, and to scale at narrower widths too.
I got quite far, as you can see in the following fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/ow7c5uLh/29/
HTML:
<div class="table">
<div class="table-cell">
<div class="placeholder">
<img src="http://lorempixum.com/120/60/" alt="alt text" width="120" height="60" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="table-cell">
<div class="placeholder">
<img src="http://lorempixum.com/120/60/" alt="alt text" width="120" height="60" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="table-cell">
<div class="placeholder">
<img src="http://lorempixum.com/120/60/" alt="alt text" width="120" height="60" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.table {
display: table;
table-layout: fixed;
width: 100%;
}
.table-cell {
display: table-cell;
text-align: center;
padding: 0 5px;
border: 1px dotted black;
}
.placeholder {
max-width: 120px;
max-height: 60px;
margin: auto;
background-color: #505050;
color: #FFFFFF;
}
img {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
However, there are two problems:
As the screen gets narrower and the images are scaled, the background-color pops out from under the image. The placeholder-div is scaling just as the image, but its height is calculated (by the browser) to be some 5px more then the image height. Where does that difference come from?
When the images are not loaded (try in the fiddle by just making the image URL invalid) then the placeholder-div's height collapses. How can I make it keep the correct height?
FYI: The actually used images won't always be of the same size, but I will know their dimensions and can calculate their aspect-ratio. I would write those values (like 120px) inline instead of in a separate css-file like in the example.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Add display: block to your CSS img rule to make it a block element instead of inline and you are good to go: Fiddle
Change src="...." of one of them to src="" in the fiddle and you will see the the cell itself already scales.
By adding rule img[alt] { font-size: 2vw; overflow: hidden } to your CSS, the html alt="text" will scale too. overflow: hidden chops excess text when alt is larger than your 120x60px.
(note: [alt] is called an 'attribute' in CSS, search for 'css custom attribute' should you want to learn to create your own.)
See updated Fiddle
I would advise against loosing the width and height rules of the placeholder, but you could change it to min-height/min-width to show at least that something 'is missing'. Or change to max-width: 100% and remove max-height, but this depends on your requirements. You will need to limit the size of an image somewhere up or down the line (for example giving the table a width in px and it's children a (max-)width in % ).
Remove:
img {
height: auto;
}
problem-1 & 2:
img {
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%;
}
I'm making a basic header using divs and a nested img in a fluid layout. I'm a bit rusty on this and i can't for the love of me figure out how to ensure that the image nested in the div scales without scaling to the point where it becomes smaller its parent div.
EDIT: Updated the codepen link showing how using min-height won't work as it squeezes the image
HTML:
<div class="container">
<div class="item half">
<p>
Some text
</p>
</div>
<div class="item half">
<img src="http://dummyimage.com/hd1080" class="full-width">
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.container{
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 1920px;
}
.item{
height: 300px;
float:left;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: gray;
}
.half{
width: 50%
}
.full-width{
max-width: 100%;
}
And for good measure a quick illustration of what is happening:
And an illustration of what i want to happen:
Edit: Note that the image here is not being squeezed, which is what happens if you set the image to have a min-height equal to its parent div. But rather the overflow is hidden. You can also see that i do not mind the images being cropped.
Any help appreciated.
You can add min-height equal to the div.item height to your image CSS
img {
max-width:100%;
min-height:300px;
}
I've managed to find the solution i wanted in this thread. The function i was looking for was object-fit.
I've used the following solution:
img{
min-height: 100%;
object-fit: cover;
}
Edit: quickly found out that this property is only properly supported by Firefox, Chrome and Opera. Use this polyfill to fix this on Safari and IE.
<div>
<div id="div1" class="myimg">
</div>
<div id="div2" class="detail">
</div>
</div>
My html5 block is as above. I am using media queries for styling it for iphone,ipad,desktop.
I am new to responsive design. I want to implement style so that div1's image size don't get changed and div2's text contains should be shrinked as I reduce width of my browser window.
even if I am trying to give div2 %width and min-width it is comming down the div1. It is not staying beside div2. If someone can guide me how to write this. that will be a great help.
Yep, this can be accomplished pretty easily. Here is an example on JSFiddle.
HTML
<div id="div1" class="myimg"></div>
<div id="div2" class="detail"></div>
CSS
.detail {
overflow: hidden;
min-height: 50px;
border: 2px dashed black
}
.myimg {
float: right;
width: 250px;
min-height: 50px;
margin-left: 10px;
border: 2px dashed red
}
Is this what you were wanting to accomplish?
