I have been dealing with this issue for a while now, tried to solve it myself but i just can't seam to be able to get to the bottom of it. Basically, I have a background that I use in the body tag. However, as soon as I add text on the background the image gets distorted on mobile devices, pixelated and it kind of zooms in.
This is the css code I use for the body background image:
body {
background-image: url(background.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center 70px;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
By fixing the image and position the center location on it, the image will center in all your display modes.
html,body{
height: 100%;
}
body{
background-image:url(http://www.cutestpaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/s-Yoshi-The-Seal-Kitteh.jpg);
background-position: center center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-size: cover;
}
I would like for the background image I'm using for my body tag to cover the entire background without a being zoomed in on one particular part of the image. In other words, I want the image to display as the background as the full picture, not cut off anywhere. Here is the CSS for my current body tag with the image:
body {
background-image: url("weather-background.jpeg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
To get image cover background, you can do the following:
body {
background: url(weather-background.jpeg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
Here is a working jsbin example with the following output.
You can go through css tricks - perfect full page background image for more examples and methods.
I'm currently working on another website and the client has requested parallax to be used. Here are some CSS properties that I believe could be used to resolve your problem:
body {
background-image: url('wherever');
background-size: cover;
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
{
Try that and see if it works.
So this was what worked for me:
body {
background-image: url("weather-background.jpeg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
background-position: center;
}
and then I gave my body tag a class of "contentContainer" and added this jQuery method:
$(".contentContainer").css("min-height", $(window).height());
I have to fix by HTML page's background for full width, but the height of the background is not as per my design. How can I fix it?
CSS Code:
html {
background: url(images/body_bg.jpg') no-repeat top left fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
You're missing a ' in the url
background: url('images/body_bg.jpg') no-repeat top left fixed;
Demo
Use background-size like the one used below,
body {
background-image: url(image1.jpg) no-repeat;
background-size: 100%;
}

I have a problem with a background image I have when trying to stretch across the entire window. external CSS below:
hr {color:sienna;}
p {margin-left:20px;}
body {background-image:url("mybackground.jpg"); -webkit-background-size: cover; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: 70%;}
#font-face /* support for browsers & IE v10 onwards*/
{
font-family:homefont; src: url("font3.ttf");
}
#main
{
position:absolute;
left:450px;
top:30px;
font-family: homefont;
font-size:150px;
line-height:70%;
}
This is what I have (see white space to the right of the image on the browser window):
Can anyone advise me on how to stretch the image across the entire window?
I have tried the suggestions as advised in the comments, however - the image appears to be cut from my knees downward :(. Are there any other suggestions?
Here is an axcellecnt article about your problem on css-tricks
Awesome, Easy, Progressive CSS3 Way:
html {
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;
}
You can try this
background-size: 100%;
or
background-size:cover
Here you go:
html {
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;
}
Works in:
Safari 3+
Chrome
IE 9+
Opera 10+ (Opera 9.5 supported background-size but not the keywords)
Firefox 3.6+ (Firefox 4 supports non-vendor prefixed version)
top center;background-size-110%;background-repeat- no-repeat
Please increase the size as you like.
Scale the background image to be as large as possible
You need to use the background-size property with the value cover like below
body {
background-image: url("mybackground.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}

I'm trying to get a background image of a HTML element (body, div, etc.) to stretch its entire width and height.
Not having much luck. Is it even possible or do I have to do it some other way besides it being a background image?
My current css is:
body {
background-position: left top;
background-image: url(_images/home.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
Edit: I'm not keen on maintaining the CSS in Gabriel's suggestion so I'm changing the layout of the page instead. But that seems like the best answer so I'm marking it as such.
<style>
{ margin: 0; padding: 0; }
html {
background: url('images/yourimage.jpg') no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
</style>
Use the background-size property: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-background/#the-background-size
In short you can try this....
<div data-role="page" style="background:url('backgrnd.png'); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: 100% 100%;" >
Where I have used few css and js...
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/jquery.mobile-1.0.1.min.css" />
<script src="js/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.mobile-1.0.1.min.js"></script>
And it is working fine for me.
Not sure that stretching a background image is possible. If you find that it's not possible, or not reliable in all of your target browsers, you could try using a stretched img tag with z-index set lower, and position set to absolute so that other content appears on top of it.
Let us know what you end up doing.
Edit: What I suggested is basically what's in gabriel's link. So try that :)
To expand on #PhiLho answer, you can center a very large image (or any size image) on a page with:
{
background-image: url(_images/home.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center;
}
Or you could use a smaller image with a background color that matches the background of the image (if it is a solid color). This may or may not suit your purposes.
{
background-color: green;
background-image: url(_images/home.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center;
}
If you need to stretch your background image while resizing the screen and you don't need compatibility with older browser versions this will do the work:
body {
background-image: url('../images/image.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
If you have a large landscape image, this example here resizes the background in portrait mode, so that it displays on top, leaving blank on the bottom:
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
min-height: 100%;
}
body {
background-image: url('myimage.jpg');
background-position-x: center;
background-position-y: bottom;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: scroll;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
#media screen and (orientation:portrait) {
body {
background-position-y: top;
-webkit-background-size: contain;
-moz-background-size: contain;
-o-background-size: contain;
background-size: contain;
}
}
The following code I use mostly for achieving the asked effect:
body {
background-image: url('../images/bg.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 100%;
}
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 works for me
.page-bg {
background: url("res://background");
background-position: center center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 100% 100%;
}
You cannot in pure CSS. Having an image covering the whole page behind all other components is probably your best bet (looks like that's the solution given above). Anyway, chances are it will look awful anyway. I would try either an image big enough to cover most screen resolutions (say up to 1600x1200, above it is scarcer), to limit the width of the page, or just to use an image that tile.
image{
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
padding: 0 3em 0 3em;
margin: -1.5em -0.5em -0.5em -1em;
width: absolute;
max-width: 100%;
Simply make a div to be the direct child of body (with the class name bg for example), encompassing all other elements in the body, and add this to the CSS file:
.bg {
background-image: url('_images/home.jpg');//Put your appropriate image URL here
background-size: 100% 100%; //You need to put 100% twice here to stretch width and height
}
Refer to this link: https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_rwd_images.asp
Scroll down to the part that says:
If the background-size property is set to "100% 100%", the background image will stretch to cover the entire content area
There it shows the 'img_flowers.jpg' stretching to the size of the screen or browser regardless of how you resize it.
