I'm displaying some images as backgrounds on a webpage but the image isn't displaying entirely 'zoomed out'. Instead, it's taking just the left side for example.
How can I make the image display completely? Is it to do with the resolution?
#kitchenimage{
width:100%;
background: url("siteimages/kitchenimage.jpg") no-repeat center fixed;
padding:200px 0;
}
The image is 3249 x 1679.
Thanks.
Depending on which option prefer, define one of the following:
background-size: cover;
background-size: 100% 100%;
background-size: contain;
The first will scale the background image to be as large as possible so that the background area is completely covered by the background image, leaving some parts of the background cropped while keeping aspect ratio.
The second won't keep the aspect ratio and will cover the background without any cropping.
The third will scale the image to the largest size such that both its width and its height can fit inside the background area.

I am trying to make the webpage, and I have trouble setting the background image of the webpage. I want my background image to be one full page without cropping or zooming the image or requiring scrolling.
I have my background image with the size of 1920x1080. I thought this size should make the webpage to be one full page, but it did not. What should I do for the image to fit on one page?
background-image: url('image/background1-1.png');
width: 100%;
height: 100vh;
This code is what I have done for the background image, but it crops the image.
Also, I am following the size or location of the images from the design that I did in XD. However, it does not match if I apply it as a code. For example, according to XD, the location of the text is top: 328px; left: 786px, but if I apply this information to my code, the text does not appear where the text is supposed to appear.
I am struggling with these questions.
I would appreciate your help as I do not have much knowledge regarding this topic.
You're looking for the background-size property. If you truly don't want to crop the image at all, use contain, but this will likely not feel like a true background image. cover will enlarge the image just enough to fit within the bounds of the browser window's dimensions, and will crop it slightly when the browser's w/h ratio isn't identical to your images w/h ratio.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/background-size
background-image: url('image/background1-1.png');
background-color: #000;
background-position:center center;
background-repeat; no-repeat;
background-size: cover; /* contain */
width: 100%;
height: 100vh;
you can add this
background-image: "url(/meals/3.jpg)",
background-position: "center",
background-repeat: "no-repeat",
background-size: "cover",
What I want to do on the background image is to expand width or height depending on the ratio of the browser size compared to that of the background image.
In this one the image is (almost) not streched; and I want the image to keep its original ratio. Basically, The width and height of background image would follow those of the browser screen.
In this screenshot, the image must be expanded to up and down because its width/height ratio is larger than the original. And the exceeded parts should be out of the browser pane.
In this one, the width/height ratio is smaller; as long as keeping its ratio and fitting the image height to the browser's height, the image should be stretched to left and right.
Hope you to understand what I want to do.. I think I might have to use something like if-then statement to detect the browser ratio and respectively change which side to fit to the image. Or are some other techs required to do this task?
Without the help of Javascript, I would suggest to use:
body {
background-image: url(image.jpg);
background-position: 50% 50%;
background-size: cover;
}
The background-position: 50% 50% will center the image horizontally and vertically. The background-size: cover will make the image cover the whole body.
Demo
I am attempting to set the background image for an application, however, the image is zoomed in rather then neatly covering the page. How do I get the image to properly fit to the size of the website.
The code looks as follows:
body {
background: url(http://www.1zoom.net/big2/155/323865-alexfas01.jpg) no-repeat top right;
}
background-size: cover;
From https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/background-size
"A keyword that is the inverse of contain. Scales the image as large as possible and maintains image aspect ratio (image doesn't get squished). The image "covers" the entire width or height of the container. When the image and container have different dimensions, the image is clipped either left/right or top/bottom."
body {
background: url(http://www.1zoom.net/big2/155/323865-alexfas01.jpg) no-repeat top right;
background-size: cover;
}
I'm trying to set the background image using CSS but the original image is stretched.
How do I keep the original image size and set the background for the entire page at the same time?
body {
margin: 0;
background-image: url(background.png);
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
}
The original image is: Original Image
And the result is: Resultent Image
The difference is the background in my web is larger than the original.
Any help would be appreciated !!!
All you have to do is to remove background-size: cover,
then all should be fine.
You have a lot of options regarding the background image and size.
For your needs you can check this W3c and try the different options you can apply.
Remember that since you apply CSS to your Body, all your pages will "follow" those rules. But some of your pages might have different height from the others.
The result also, depends on the screen resolution of the client.
You have to deside what is your desired result in all screen resolutions.
Try to remove background-size:cover; & set width of image to your requirement.
background-size:cover;stretches the image to full background.
or
Please change your image extension from .png to .jpeg or .jpg because .png always stretches your image and after that the css property u have defined earlier will work properly.
What you can do is just remove, background-size:cover;
Now let's see what does that mean,
background-size
Because background-size CSS property specifies the size of the
background images. The size of the image can be fully constrained or
only partially in order to preserve its intrinsic ratio.
cover
A keyword that is the inverse of contain(contain value specifies that regardless of the size of the containing box, the background image should be scaled so that each side is as large as possible while not exceeding the length of the corresponding side of the container). cover scales the image as large
as possible and maintains image aspect ratio (image doesn't get
squished). The image "covers" the entire width or height of the
container. When the image and container have different dimensions,
the image is clipped either left/right or top/bottom.
To get much identification just try JSFiddle
For the more reference on background-size:
remove background-size: cover;
Thanks.
I found the problem.
the source image is open with a zoom of 35% therefore when I set the backgroud it stretch to 100%.
body {
margin: 0;
background-image: url(background.png);
background-size: 60% 60%;
background-position: center center;
}
Try like this:
.your-class {
background-image: url(background.png);
/* Required Height */
height: 800px;
/* Center and scale the image nicely */
background-position: center !important;
background-repeat: no-repeat !important;
background-size: cover !important;
}
See my example here - http://jsbin.com/kutobedo/1/edit
When you shrink the browser window, the image resizes correctly and maintains it's aspect ratio. However I want the image to always stretch to fill the screen, but in this case it never stretches beyond it's native resolution.
If I set width:100% instead of max-width. It will stretch the image to fit the width but if you shrink the window vertically, it will start to distort the image.
If I set height: 100% instead of max-height I get overflow/scrollbars instead.
So I'm a bit stuck! Please note the images will be of different aspect ratios and resolutions.
I suppose in the long run, this might not be a good idea as a 1024x768 image blown up on a 4k screen may look a little nasty. Still would like a solution for now though.
Set image as background of a div & use background-size:cover;. This will stretch it to fill screen without losing aspect ratio, no matter what are image dimentions are.
With the property »cover« the image is scaled up to the entire background until the whole background is covered therewith. More at http://en.aufdemdach.org/css-en/css-center-background-images/
Example:
body{
background: url("http://lorempixel.com/g/1000/1000/") no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
