So, I have a weird problem here that I'm not sure why it exists. I'm working on a webpage and was adding in a background image by centering it with no-repeat, like so. This is from an external CSS
body {
background-image: url('AllCalcBackground.png');
background-position: center;
overflow: hidden;
margin: 0px;
}
The overflow is just because I don't want scrollbars on the page and the margins is so that everything can lie flush with the sides of the window if I want. Anyway, for some reason the image is deciding to center NOT in the center of the page, but near the top. I inspected the page (as in pressing F12 in the browser to check the code) and it says that my HTML and body elements are actually taking up the top 131px of the webpage, and I have no idea why. Nothing is affecting either of them except for this CSS for the body element, they are simply fitting themselves to the content currently on the page as opposed to filling the page like I expect they are supposed to. Does anyone know why or can help me out with this?
Try this...
body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
background: url(AllCalcBackground.png) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
This CSS will stop overflow and fit your image as static to the background so even when you scroll it will stay in its position.
You can center the image in the browser like this:
html, body {height: 100%;}
body {
background: url(AllCalcBackground.png) no-repeat center;
}
If you want the image to fill the viewport, then try this:
html, body {height: 100%;}
body {
background: url(AllCalcBackground.png) no-repeat center;
background-size: cover;
}

I am using the following code to set a background image to my HTML:
body {
margin: 0;
background: url('images/lightning.jpg') no-repeat center center fixed;
background-size: cover;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
}
But the image did not show up entirely on the screen so I tried the following solution:
https://jsfiddle.net/507w9yoa/ which doesn't work as well.
Could someone please help me set the background image without adding the scroll bar or cutting off the images? I have tried all solutions available here and other site but nothing seems to work.
contain
contain will maintain the aspect ratio and fit the screen either vertically or horizontally. It will not crop the image but therefor not fill the entire background unless the aspect ratio is the exact same.
body {
margin: 0;
background: url('https://www.tacoshy.de/Images/Yoshi/IMAG0735.jpg') no-repeat center center fixed;
background-size: contain;
}
Try this out: I just used 2 different units in background-size and now image works as for the screen size, image doesn't gets cropped and fills screen. I tried different screen and it worked fine for me.
body {
background: url('https://i.postimg.cc/1tcWpbZY/pexels-plato-terentev-5822191.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 100% 100vh;
}
Try below
body {
background: url("https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/dc/Standard_time_zones_of_the_world_%282012%29_-_Pacific_Centered.svg") no-repeat;
background-size: 100vw 100vh;
}
This might stretch weird but won't add any scroll bar and won't cut your image.
I'm trying to create a webpage. I'm having a little difficulty
with getting my background picture to show up. I had it up and running, but I decided I wanted to give it a responsive design, and I can't figure it out. This is my code for the image:
<style>
body .title_img {
background-image: url("SplashScreen.jpg");
height: auto;
width: 100%;
background-position: center;
z-index: -1;
}
</style>
<div class="title_img">
<!-- Background Splash Screen -->
</div>
If I give the height/width a definitive size (pixels) it shows up. I don't understand why 100% width with auto height wouldn't give me a picture that is 100% the size of the body (which I THINK i have made sure it was the 100% of the html document) and a height that is automatically proportional to the width. Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong?
EDIT- Added the HTML code.
Full-Page Background Images
I think what you are trying to create, is a full-page background image for your website. Based off of reading the code you provided, I believe you want something that does the following:
Fills entire page with image, no white space
Scales image as needed
Retains image proportions (aspect ratio)
Image is centered on page
Does not cause scrollbars
As cross-browser compatible as possible
Isn't some fancy shenanigans like Flash
If that is what you are trying to create, then I found a few lines of code that could help. Here is an example of how you could go about doing this with your image using css:
CSS File (That's where the magic happens):
html {
background: url("SplashScreen.jpg") no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
Just make sure your html file is setup correctly to use the css file, and it should create a cool background image you can use for your websites.
You can read more into this here and learn more about what makes this work.
Try setting height: 100% in body and html in your css:
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
And then put background-size: cover in body .title_img:
body .title_img {
background-image: url("SplashScreen.jpg");
height: 100%;
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
z-index: -1;
}
See reference here.
Use
background-size: cover
or
background-size:100% 100%.
with
background-repeat: no-repeat
That will set it to 100% of its container.
I have an image that is my header. Here is my simple HTML:
<html>
<body>
<div class="wrapper" />
</body>
</html>
It fills the full width of the page, but I had to specify a height for it show up. Here is the css:
.wrapper {
background-image: url(../assets/bridge.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 100%;
width: 100%;
height: 250px;
}
How do I make this image responsive? Right now when I expand the page it gets to the point where the pic is unrecognizable.
Didn't got your question quiet well, but I think you are missing a value here
background-size: 100%; /* 1 value is not wrong but you'll probably need 2 */
--^---
CSS
.wrapper {
background-image: url(http://images.google.co.in/intl/en_ALL/images/logos/images_logo_lg.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 100% 100%;
width: 100%;
height: 250px;
}
Demo
As ralph.m suggested, if you are using this image as your website background, than use the background property on body element instead of div
You need to use following CSS to make the background responsive
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;
}

You need to think carefully about how you want/expect this to work. Without some actual content in the div, it will have zero height, which is why you needed to set a height on it; but in general, try to avoid setting heights. Presumably, if this is a "wrapper", it will be wrapping some content that will hold it open without you having to set a height.
As for the background image, you need to think about how it will behave. Do you just want it to appear in a strip along the top? If you use Mr Alien's solution, be aware that the image will stretch wider and wider and start to look odd. So we need some more information on what you are trying to do here.
My CSS code is as follows:
body {
background-image: url(images/bg.png);
background-attachment: scroll;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 100%;
}
The background image is obviously larger than a standard webpage, but it still won't let me scroll down.
[A side note - I also cannot scroll down in the design view: http://www.meikledesign.co.uk/host/example.jpg]
Give the body a finite height for testing purposes.
body {
height: 2000px;
}
Backgrounds do not artificially increase the body of an html page (defined, by default, as 100%, 100% of browser window) if I remember correctly.
Change the body min-height to the bg.png height, not too pretty solution, but works
If you are trying to achieve responsive background, then check this perfect-full-page-background-image
you can achieve that with css3, like this:
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;
}
but that way it wont work in all browsers.
Check the link i provided for crossbrowser solution.
And about scrolling, you can do that as other members said earlier, by adding min-height to the body.
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.
