I've been fiddling with my background image in CSS for a couple hours now and have tried searching through articles to find a solution but still have nothing. I'm trying to make my background image fit the screen no matter what the browser size.
At first I was using this CSS code which seemed to be working:
body {
background-image: url(images/background.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
But then when I re-sized the browser this happened: http://prntscr.com/j1d4kv
I then went and found another solution that said I should put the background image in the html tag, which i tried:
html {
background-image: url(images/background.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
This fixed the issue of the background image not fitting to the bottom when the browser size changed, but then I had this issue when I was full screened: http://prntscr.com/j1d742 It left a gap on the right side!
Most likely your body doesn't reach the full height of the browser window, if it doesn't have much content. Add this to correct that:
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
You want to add,
background-attachment: fixed;

I have a Django site, and when I run it on my local machine everything is fine, but when I make it to pythonanywhere.com one little problem appears: somewhy and somehow my background image doesn't want to fill the whole page even though it does on my local host (using the same browser, so the problem is not here). Basically I don't mind changing the aspect ratio, I just want each pixel of the background to be fully on the screen, would it be either 600x400 or 200x2000.
body {
background: url("images/classes.jpg") no-repeat center center fixed;
background-size: 100% 100%;
}
It seems to me like {background-size: 100% 100%} just... doesn't work?
I tried to switch percents to 100vw 100vh, but the output was literally the same.

Image itself: https://i.ibb.co/0G86wL2/classes.jpg
I wonder what might be the problem.

The object-fit CSS property sets how the content of a replaced element, such as an <img> or <video>, should be resized to fit its container. Use this propriety for the image in your css, or the container that stores that image.
object-fit: cover;
For more : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/object-fit
Try this:
body {
background: url("") no-repeat center center fixed;
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
Well, basically I just outplayed myself; the real problem was the version control, I just missed several things. Code in the main post works totally fine.
I need help and I did not found any proper answer so far. I want to make background image on my website that is full width and height and responsive to any resolution and it is ok but problem is when I put other images ( I have 7 images over background img ). I place them and set with media query for every resolution and it is ok only when is fullscreen but when I watch regularly with address bar and bookmark bar in my browser it all messes around and even my background picture is not full width and height anymore. Sorry for bad English.
CSS for body:
body {
background-image: url('images/background1.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: top center;
background-attachment: scroll;
background-size: 100% 100%;
height: 100vh;
margin: 0px;
}
Then I put my images and with margin - left, right, bottom, top place them for different screen resolution in media query.
Do I need to set proper position to images or something else? Please give me a hint.
Edit:
This is what I get in fullscreen and it is ok
But this is when is not fullscreen
All are images except strips, those are part of background image.
Images have only margin style, nothing else. They are in divs with float style.
The easiest way to make background images responsive is this:
img{
background-image: url('.../your-image.jpg');
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
The best example of what I need would be the picture behind the search bar on http://shutterstock.com. Try to unzoom (ctrl and - on Chrome) ; the rest of the website will size down; the image itself will remain the same size, it will only be cropped as its height decreases.
Basically, I need the background image to be responsive and full width on an otherwise unresponsive and 960px theme.
It's giving me a bad headache so far; I can't figure out how to do it.
Any ideas?
I think you're looking for background-size. FYI, this doesn't work in IE8 and below I believe.
.your-class {
background:url('images/yourimage.jpg');
background-size:cover;
}
body {
background-image: url(blah.jpg);
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
}
'cover' will make the background image rescale based on the container's size
'fix' will make the background image positton stay fixed when u scroll down
I have two html pages (index.html and about.html) with the same background in the body tag. I am using the following CSS to create the background:
body {
background: url("http://www.skrenta.com/images/stackoverflow.jpg");
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
}
However, the browsers (Firefox and Chrome) are not positioning the image correctly. Since the background color is white, index.html has a white line under the background image. I am assuming that the image height is too short.
Yet, there is a block of white space under the background image of about.html, bleaching over a quarter of the page.
How does this happen when I'm using the same CSS.
While on this topic, what is the best way to manage a background image for different screen resolutions?
Try:
background-size:contain;
contain property scales the image to the largest size such that both its width and its height can fit inside the content area.
The best solution that I can come up with was to use background-attachment: fixed;. This filled the entire background with my image.
I have not figured out as to why my CSS was displaying my background in different ways. This is something to look at.
body {
background: url("http://www.skrenta.com/images/stackoverflow.jpg");
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
background-attachment: fixed;
}
I prefer you first take a small slice of image by photoshop and save it for web and devices or take a small size by snipping tool.Than you will get a small image with small size.
than type bellow code
body {
background-image: url('http://www.skrenta.com/images/stackoverflow.jpg');
background-repeat: repeat;
}
I was looking at path.com today and liked their implementation of a dynamically sized cover photo. If you check it out you will see that it sizes nicely no matter your screen size.
I looked a little more into it and noticed the background image is attached to the body tag. I also noticed the body appears to get its size from the form element inside it, meaning the body itself it actually shorter than the total page.
Does anyone know how they accomplish this?
Also, the body height is set to 100% of the viewport.
I think you're looking for this part:
body.home {
height: 100%;
background-size: cover;
background-position: center center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
