CSS image scaling to constrain to window width and not distort - html

this is my first question on here so I'm sorry if I don't quite get the terminology.
I have a background image that is serving as a logo divider for the footer information, which I made 2,400px wide so it would display fully across multiple screen sizes. Only problem is that there is a large bottom scroll to the webpage and I would just like it to constrain to the window width, and show more as someone may adjust the webpage width to be larger, or less and it constrains down to be smaller. The closest I got to achieving this was when it was constrained to the width of the window, but it distorted the image.
This is the CSS I'm using currently, it may contain quite a bit of excess elements that are not helping me, I had scoured google for solutions but resorted to coming here.
footer {
overflow: hidden;
background: url(../img/aperture_labs_bot.png) no-repeat fixed;
background-image: url(../img/aperture_labs_bot.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: left;
background-size: 2400px 68px;
background-size: cover;
background-position: 50% 50%;
}

Have you tried changing the background-size to contain?
footer {
background: url(../img/aperture_labs_bot.png) no-repeat fixed;
background-image: url(../img/aperture_labs_bot.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: contain;
background-position: center;
}
I hope this helps...

Try this:
background: url(../img/aperture_labs_bot.png) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
This way it has the width of the entire screen, and scales when you make the screen smaller.
edit;
HTML:
<footer>
<div class="footer-test">
This text will be placed in the footer div. The div class footer-test will have a full-size background image no mather what width it has.
</div>
</footer>
CSS:
.footer-test {
background: url("http://www.cossumswimschools.co.uk/images/bg.jpg") no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
height:100px;
}
Let me know!

Unwanted white space on mobile view

I have the problem that on my website, when I scroll fast on mobile, the background image moves up a bit and a white space at the bottom appears, and then disappears again when I stop scrolling.
I've tried a bunch of solutions to similar problems to prevent this from happening, but I haven't been able to solve it so far.
Here's the my css for the background image:
html {
background: url(bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
And a screenshot of the issue:
Try adding the background img to the body aswell like this:
html, body {
background: url(bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
Try this code for mobile to the background image show all sides clear images but if your image is big then the image is stretched so first, you need to create a div container to fit your image into the div container.
html, body {
background: url(bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
background-size: 100% 100%;
}

Making the body background responsive

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;
}

Fixed a background image with 100% scale to screen

Do anyone has similar experience and has the solution?
I use below CSS to display an background image on a mobile, of course I do declare
I could not able to display the image according to screen's height and width, if I remove the "background-attachment: fixed", then image is resized according to the screen's height and width but image is center according to the length of web content instead of the screen.
Do anyone have better solution?
#home {
background: url('../images/hkfmpt_trans.png');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-size: contain;
}
try this
html {
background: url('../images/hkfmpt_trans.png') no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}

How do I get a background to stretch to the full width?

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%;
}

How do I stretch a background image to cover the entire HTML element?

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.
