I am trying to display this image in my blog full size : http://i.imgur.com/BruV8Hk.jpg
However it gets cropped ... i don't know why. I have tried rechecking the .header boundaries and I can't see where I would be limiting the size available for the image.
Here is the codepen for the site : http://codepen.io/anon/pen/grLED
Please help
EDIT:
Just to clarify .. I would like my .header container to be big enough to house that image in full
EDIT 2:
so i just did this : http://codepen.io/anon/pen/vJyFn to get the desired result ... can it be done without all those <br> ?
Add these properties to your .header class. But I am not sure if this'll work in old browsers.
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
Update
If your height is less then the image height, you will loose dimension ratios. In this case your image will be stretched. You can define width and height like this background-size: 300px 150px; as described here.
Moreover you can use cover and contain options with background-size property. As your container height is less then the image you have to rely on this otherwise set width height screw background image.
For more reference please see this link.
Try setting the background-size.
/* Always cover the container (not a lot of support) */
background-size: cover;
Or
/* Fit width */
background-size: 100% auto;
Alternatively if you want it inside the div with absolutely no cropping you could set this to 'contain' or 'auto 100%' to fit the height.
Hope that helps. :)
Do you need image to be displayed like in this link?
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/grLED
body{
color: #202020; /*#3d3636 #fffaf0; #fdfdfd 8c8c8c*/
font-size:100%;
font-family: 'Maven Pro', sans-serif;
line-height:1.4em;
min-height:100%;
/*padding-left: 5%;*/
background: url('http://i.imgur.com/BruV8Hk.jpg');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
I've made a small example for you, take a look at this Link it might help you out
There is an CSS3 property called
background-size:cover;
that will do the magic :)

I have been working on positioning a background image, but the image is only positioned correctly while the webpage window is adjusted to its minimum width. As I resize the browser window the image is clipped on all of its' side lengths. The photo has a height much greater than its width(1391 x 2471). I thought I might have to incorporate a vertical scroll? The website is being designed for mobile platforms but I will be viewing and designing it primarily on a computer monitor. How might I maintain the images' integrity from Min. Width of browser to Max. Width of browser?
* { margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
html {
background: url("image.jpg") no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
My CSS code for the positioning of the image was taught to me on CSS-Tricks though it has provided the best results so far. I have added a link to the image encase you would like to view. It is a photo I took myself so I hope the link provided is functional.
You need to get the html element (or whatever element you want the img to show in) to have at least the full height of the img when the img has full width (100vw) of the viewport.
You can do that if you know the aspect ratio of the image. In this case you know the natural width and height of the original so the aspect ratio can be calculated by CSS if you give it those dimensions as variables.
Here's an example using your CSS settings (except see caveat below):
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
html {
--imgw: 1391;
--imgh: 2471;
width: 100vw;
min-height: calc(100vw * var(--imgh) / var(--imgw));
/* make sure the whole height of the image is always shown */
background-image: url(https://picsum.photos/id/1015/1391/2471);
background-size: cover;
}
HELLO
Caveat: you have background fixed in your CSS. Two problems with that: it renders the element unscrollable and in any case it is not properly supported in Safari and makes the background look 'fuzzy' on IOS. So this snippet has removed it.
body{
background: url("");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
background-position: center;
background-attachment: fixed;
}
If I have understood this properly, you want the image to be displayed properly on all the sizes you want?
Well in that case you can use #media query.
#media(max-width: your max width in px) {
/*And here change the height and width so that it doesn't look weird*/
}
I have a background image on header but I want it resizable when the browser is small. When I make the browser smaller the image is getting smaller from sides. I want to see the whole image
header{
background: url(img/img.jpg) no-repeat center center;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
}
You don't really see the whole image all the time but I think this is the best solution as the image will always stay scalable.
Here you can see the difference between both answers given. The background-size: cover and the background-size:100% auto; You have to adapt to your situation.
you can use background-size property in CSS
{
background-size:100% auto;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
My site has to be responsive and I'm supposed to build it "mobile-first".
It's a one page site and each section is divided by an svg image.
So far I've gotten it the width resize perfectly by using background-size:cover; but a small part at the bottom of the image gets cut off. I've tried adjusting the height (auto, 100%, random pixel value) but that doesn't seem to do anything :/
Any ideas?
#breakpink{
background-image: url(../images/break_pink.svg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
height: 100%;
text-indent: -9999px;
}

Same problem happened for me. There is a solution for this problem that is posted in the accepted answer on this page: CSS: Full Size background image
The solution was to use: background-size: 100% 100%
But there was a drawback, that is when you zoom out the background along with the content, the "body" background appears at the bottom!
Use "background-size: contain" instead of "background-size: cover",
1 background-size : cover
Property value "cover" will make the image to cover available space, if the image is small then it will be scaled up to cover available space, If the image is big then it will be scaled down to cover the available space, in either case, there is a chance that image may get cropped in order to fill the available space.
Pros: It will cover the entire available space.
Cons: Image may get cropped.
2 background-size : contain
"contain" will make the image scale up or down to fit inside the available space.
Pros: Full image is displayed.
Cons: Image may be look stretched. And sometimes you will see empty space around the image.
html {
background: url(../images/break_pink.svg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
This will probably fix your problem
I was having a similar problem. I've added a padding-bottom: 10px; and it worked for me.
add a margin at the bottom of the element:
#breakpink{
background-image: url(../images/break_pink.svg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
height: 100%;
text-indent: -9999px;
margin-bottom:10px;
}
Had similar issue where the bottom of my header image was getting cut off. Resolved it by using
background-size: contain;
I had a similar issue. It turned out that the image file was damaged in some strange way. Opening the image in the file system worked, the image was OK, but it produced this error in the browser. I deleted the image file and downloaded it again and the image was displayed appropiately with the css rules.
add a min-height property
#breakpink{
// other codes are here
min-height: 150vh;
// to see area of the image
border: 2px solid red;
}
body{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background: url(image.jpg);
background-size: auto;
background-size: cover;
height: 100%;
text-indent: -9999px;
margin-bottom:10px;
background-position: center;
font-family: sans-serif;
}
I am just trying to set my background but this image will not work. It is between 15 to 20MB in size so I tried to turn it into 5MB. Still no luck. I made a really small image, 25KB size, and that worked but just repeated. My localhost will not show big images either. Is there some limit? What do I need to do to get a full image page?
body {
background-image:url(background.jpg);
}
Do this to avoid repeating the image:
body
{
background-image:url(background.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
You can also experiment with background-size: cover like this:
body
{
background-image: url("http://www.google.com/doodle4google/images/carousel-winner2012.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
background-attachment: fixed;
}
Here's a demo at JS Bin with a beautiful Doodle 4 Google as the background image to test the behavior:
http://jsbin.com/ivexah/2
you need to assign a width and height to body.
for example:
html, body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
You can use the shorthand background css property:
background: url(background.jpg) no-repeat;
Also your body might not have a height of 100% because there's no content on your page. Either give your html and body a height of 100% or add more content to your page.
To make a background image cover its entire container use background-size:
background-size: cover;
IE8 and lower don't support this. For those browsers you need a javascript fallback. There's an excellent article on css-tricks.com that shows different techniques.
You shouldn't have any "size" limitation on your background image. More than likely, you're file is so large that you are not waiting long enough for it to load OR you have not set a width and height. Without the dimensions, the element tahat you are trying to load the background image will essentially have a size of 0px x 0px. See the following jsfiddle example:
http://jsfiddle.net/GymxW/1/
The HTML:
<div class="container"></div>
The CSS:
.container {
width: 400px;
height: 100px;
background-image: url(http://dummyimage.com/400x100/4d494d/686a82.gif&text=background+image);
background-repeat: none;
background-position: 0 0;
}
IMPORTANT: If you are wanting to have an image that is "stretched" to the full size of the viewport, a simple solution is to use a plugin, such as Backstretch.
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.
