I wanted to stretch or fit my background image using css so it is always in 100% of width and height no matter what the screen size is. This is asked many times and everyone suggests to use background-size:100% and it will work. but using background-size only fits my image's width and the height is still cropped.
I'll appreciate if someone can help me with this.
Thans very much
EDIT:
You tried background-size: 100%,
CSS interprets this as 100% width, automatic height which will look like this:
background-size: 100% auto;
What you want is the second argument (height) to be 100% too, so you should do this:
background-size: 100% 100%;
END EDIT
Try:
background-size: cover;
This will fit the width or height and overflow the rest
Or:
background-size: contain;
This will make the image as large as possible without changing it's aspect ratio.
You can read more about the css3 background-size property HERE
You can try:
background: url('Your image URL') 100%;
or
background: url('Your image URL') 100% no-repeat;
Try this CSS rule:
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: scroll;
background-position: center center
background-size: cover; // this makes img full-screen (full-width & full-height)

Currently, if my browser is half the monitor's size it will shrink the background to fit the width, cutting off the height and the bottom. I'd like it to instead, keep the height, filling the whole page, and keeping the aspect ratio but just centering the photo and cutting off the sides of the photo, my current CSS is just
body{
background-image: url("/background1.jpg");
background-size: 100%;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
display: compact;
}
Any help on how to do this would be great, thank you
Adding background-size: cover should do the clipping and keeping aspect ratio.
Adding background-position: center; will keep the image in the centre.
(replace rule for div and place it to your body - I used div here for the sample code only)
See running sample below
div {
background-image: url("http://placehold.it/1000/1000");
/* Resizes image to fill div; retains aspect ratio. */
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
min-height: 2000px;
}
<div>
Lorem Ipsum
</div>
background-size: cover;
Should do what you need. Handles cropping / scaling pretty elegantly.
use background-size: auto 100%; in that rule:
body {
background: url("/background1.jpg") center center no-repeat;
background-size: auto 100%;
}
The first parameter (in background-size) is the width, the second the height of the image. If there is only one parameter (as in your rule), the browser will assume it's the width and set the height to auto. My version should give you the full height and adjust the width automatically (and center the image)
body background image is not showing on mobile height wise. It show on half of the body. image size is (1600*1050)
Here is Css code
body {
background:url('img/dot.png') repeat, url('img/bg2.jpg') center fixed no-repeat;
background-size:auto, cover;
min-width:100%;
height:100%;
margin: 0;
}
Kindly advice me any solution.
Set the background height and width 100%
background-size: 100% 100%;
Remove auto from background-size, like this:
background-size: cover;
I have a giant background image that I need 100% 100% scale. But my problem is if the webpage is say 150% height that of the browser (so browser is say 1000x1000, and my website is 1000x1500) when you scroll down to see the rest of the website the background repeats and doesn't get scaled down.
My css is
html,body { width: 100%; height 100%; }
body { background: url(blah) no-repeat; background-size: 100% 100%; }
Any idea of how I can fix that?
Here is a great resource on that topic.
http://css-tricks.com/perfect-full-page-background-image/
Hope it helps.
Like the CSS-Tricks article explained, you could change the CSS to:
html {
background: url(images/background.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
This will make sure your background image covers the whole page, but is only supported in CSS3. Like above, you need to include specific code for each major browser.
Alternatively, try just using:
height: 100%;
or
width: 100%
depending on the image size in relation to your page, but this should let the image resize to the right height/width of your page, while nicely maintaining aspect ratio.
Try applying the background image to the html instead.
Just set 100% on the width if its smaller then the height otherweise set the height 100%. You could probably fix that with javascript.
I have a background image in the following div, but the image gets cut off:
<div style='text-align:center;background-image: url(/media/img_1_bg.jpg);background-repeat:no-repeat;width:450px;height:900px;' id="mainpage" align="center">
Is there a way to show the background image without cutting it off?
You can achieve this with the background-size property, which is now supported by most browsers.
To scale the background image to fit inside the div:
background-size: contain;
To scale the background image to cover the whole div:
background-size: cover;
JSFiddle example or runnable snippet:
#imagecontainer {
background: url("http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EqZzf-l7OCg/TNmdtcyGBZI/AAAAAAAAAD8/KD5Y23c24go/s1600/homer-simpson-1280x1024.jpg") no-repeat;
width: 100px;
height: 200px;
border: 1px solid;
background-size: contain;
}
<div id="imagecontainer"></div>
There also exists a filter for IE 5.5+ support, as well as vendor prefixes for some older browsers.
If what you need is the image to have the same dimensions of the div, I think this is the most elegant solution:
background-size: 100% 100%;
If not, the answer by #grc is the most appropriated one.

You can use this attributes:
background-size: contain;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
and you code is then like this:
<div style="text-align:center;background-image: url(/media/img_1_bg.jpg); background-size: contain;
background-repeat: no-repeat;" id="mainpage">
background-position-x: center;
background-position-y: center;
you also use this:
background-size:contain;
height: 0;
width: 100%;
padding-top: 66,64%;
I don't know your div-values, but let's assume you've got those.
height: auto;
max-width: 600px;
Again, those are just random numbers.
It could quite hard to make the background-image (if you would want to) with a fixed width for the div, so better use max-width. And actually it isn't complicated to fill a div with an background-image, just make sure you style the parent element the right way, so the image has a place it can go into.

try any of the following,
background-size: contain;
background-size: cover;
background-size: 100%;
.container{
background-size: 100%;
}
The background-size property specifies the size of the background images.
There are different syntaxes you can use with this property: the keyword syntax ("auto", "cover" and "contain"), the one-value syntax (sets the width of the image (height becomes "auto"), the two-value syntax (first value: width of the image, second value: height).
percentage - Sets the width and height of the background image in percent of the parent element.
cover - Resize the background image to cover the entire container, even if it has to stretch the image or cut a little bit off one of the edges
contain - Resize the background image to make sure the image is fully visible
For more: https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background-size.asp
Alternative:
background-size: auto 100%;
you can also try this, set background size as cover and to get it look nicer also set background position center like so :
background-size: cover;
background-position: center ;
I have a background image with size 1x947 px,
the problem is it's a gradient color, so i only use repeat-x,
but when the page height over 947 px, it shows it background
color,
background-image:url(bg.gif);
background-repeat:repeat-x;
how to stretch it?
here's the code example on fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/K9cUd/1/
Hard to tell without the code or an example.
You could use CSS3's
background-size: 100%;
which should stretch it to the entire page size.
You might need to do
background-size: 0 100%; or background-size: 0% 100%;
so the width does not change.
You can read more here: http://webdesign.about.com/od/styleproperties/p/blspbgsize.htm
And the spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-background/#the-background-size
If you don't want to use percentages use:
background-size: cover;
