I'm a beginner in HTML coding and I'm trying to display just a part of an image. I'm displaying the image this way:
<img id="theImg" style="width:100%;" src="https://'myimage.jpg'" />
but I really don't know how to display just bottom left quarter of the image. It is even possible without making a new picture with the cropped image?
If you know the size of your image, you can put it into a container which has half the width and height of the image and use position: absolute; and the settings shown below:
.container {
width: 300px;
height: 200px;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
}
.container img {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
}
<div class="container">
<img src="http://placehold.it/600x400/fa0" />
</div>
You can just use a div element that has a background image and then just apply a few css changes to that div like so:
#theImg {
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
display: block;
background-image: url('https://myimage.jpg');
background-position: bottom left;
}
JsFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/kekwdy2L/3/
Use background-image with background-position:
#my-image {
background-image: url('https://i0.wp.com/lovecuteanimals.objects.cdn.dream.io/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Cute-Netherland-Dwarf-Rabbit.jpg?w=1160');
background-position: -220px -80px;
display: inline-block;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}
<div id="my-image"></div>
<style>
div {
height: height you want;
width: width you want;
background-image:url("image you want");
</style>
<div class="div"></div>
If you know the size of the image in pixels, you can use a css clip.
Note, clip is officially deprecated in css specification, however its replacement clip-path currently has very low browser support.
Another way of achieving crop is placing the <img> tag within a <div> as shown in this answer.
I want to have a website where I can upload images of different sizes to be displayed in a jquery slider.
I can't seem to fit (scaling down) the image in a containing div. Here's how I'm intending to do it
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org /TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Imtest.css"/>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="im"><img src="Images/Scarpa2_1.jpg" /></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
And the CSS
#wrapper {
width: 400px;
height: 400px;
border: 2px black solid;
margin: auto;
}
#im {
max-width: 100%;
}
I've tried to set the max-width of my image to 100% in CSS. But that doens't work.
You can use a background image to accomplish this;
From MDN - Background Size: Contain:
This keyword specifies that the background image should be scaled to be as large as possible while ensuring both its dimensions are less than or equal to the corresponding dimensions of the background positioning area.
Demo
CSS:
#im {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
background-image: url("path/to/img");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: contain;
}
HTML:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="im">
</div>
</div>
This is an old question I know, but this is in the top five for several related Google searches. Here's the CSS-only solution without changing the images to background images:
width: auto;
height: auto;
max-width: MaxSize;
max-height: MaxSize;
"MaxSize" is a placeholder for whatever max-width and max-height you want to use, in pixels or percentage. auto will increase (or decrease) the width and height to occupy the space you specify with MaxSize. It will override any defaults for images you or the viewer's browser might have for images. I've found it's especially important on Android's Firefox. Pixels or percentages work for max size. With both the height and width set to auto, the aspect ratio of the original image will be retained.
If you want to fill the space entirely and don't mind the image being larger than its original size, change the two max-widths to min-width: 100% - this will make them completely occupy their space and maintain aspect ratio. You can see an example of this with a Twitter profile's background image.
if you want both width and the height you can try
background-size: cover !important;
but this wont distort the image but fill the div.
I believe this is the best way of doing it, I've tried it and it works very well.
#img {
object-fit: cover;
}
This is where I found it. Good luck!
It's very simple. Just Set width of img to 100%
Hope this will answer the age old problem (Without using CSS background property)
Html
<div class="card-cont">
<img src="demo.png" />
</div>
Css
.card-cont{
width:100%;
height:150px;
}
.card-cont img{
max-width: 100%;
min-width: 100%;
min-height: 150px;
}
I am using this, both smaller and large images:
.product p.image {
text-align: center;
width: 220px;
height: 160px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.product p.image img{
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%;
}
I use:
object-fit: cover;
-o-object-fit: cover;
to place images in a container with a fixed height and width, this also works great for my sliders. It will however cut of parts of the image depending on it's.
In a webpage where I wanted a in image to scale with browser size change and remain at the top, next to a fixed div, all I had to do was use a single CSS line: overflow:hidden; and it did the trick. The image scales perfectly.
What is especially nice is that this is pure css and will work even if Javascript is turned off.
CSS:
#ImageContainerDiv {
overflow: hidden;
}
HTML:
<div id="ImageContainerDiv">
<a href="URL goes here" target="_blank">
<img src="MapName.png" alt="Click to load map" />
</a>
</div>
Several of these things did not work for me... however, this did. Might help someone else in the future. Here is the CSS:
.img-area {
display: block;
padding: 0px 0 0 0px;
text-indent: 0;
width: 100%;
background-size: 100% 95%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-image: url("https://yourimage.png");
}
I have met the same issue and fixed using the following CSS.
Hope this would help you.
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%;
width: max-content;
height: max-content;
.parent {
border: 1px solid black;
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
}
.image {
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%;
width: max-content;
height: max-content;
border: 1px solid black;
}
<div class='parent'>
<img class='image' alt='' src="https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/95250818?v=4"></img>
</div>
How do you auto-resize a large image so that it will fit into a smaller width div container whilst maintaining its width:height ratio?
Example: stackoverflow.com - when an image is inserted onto the editor panel and the image is too large to fit onto the page, the image is automatically resized.
Do not apply an explicit width or height to the image tag. Instead, give it:
max-width:100%;
max-height:100%;
Also, height: auto; if you want to specify a width only.
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/xwrvxser/1/
img {
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%;
}
.portrait {
height: 80px;
width: 30px;
}
.landscape {
height: 30px;
width: 80px;
}
.square {
height: 75px;
width: 75px;
}
Portrait Div
<div class="portrait">
<img src="http://i.stack.imgur.com/xkF9Q.jpg">
</div>
Landscape Div
<div class="landscape">
<img src="http://i.stack.imgur.com/xkF9Q.jpg">
</div>
Square Div
<div class="square">
<img src="http://i.stack.imgur.com/xkF9Q.jpg">
</div>
It turns out there's another way to do this: object-fit.
<img style='height: 100%; width: 100%; object-fit: contain'/>
will do the work. Don't forget to include other necessary attributes like src and alt, of course.
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/mbHB4/7364/
Currently there is no way to do this correctly in a deterministic way, with fixed-size images such as JPEGs or PNG files.
To resize an image proportionally, you have to set either the height or width to "100%", but not both. If you set both to "100%", your image will be stretched.
Choosing whether to do height or width depends on your image and container dimensions:
If your image and container are both "portrait shaped" or both "landscape shaped" (taller than they are wide, or wider than they are tall, respectively), then it doesn't matter which of height or width are "%100".
If your image is portrait, and your container is landscape, you must set height="100%" on the image.
If your image is landscape, and your container is portrait, you must set width="100%" on the image.
If your image is an SVG, which is a variable-sized vector image format, you can have the expansion to fit the container happen automatically.
You just have to ensure that the SVG file has none of these properties set in the <svg> tag:
height
width
viewbox
Most vector drawing programs out there will set these properties when exporting an SVG file, so you will have to manually edit your file every time you export, or write a script to do it.
Here is a solution that will both vertically and horizontally align your img within a div without any stretching even if the image supplied is too small or too big to fit in the div.
The HTML content:
<div id="myDiv">
<img alt="Client Logo" title="Client Logo" src="Imagelocation" />
</div>
The CSS content:
#myDiv
{
height: 104px;
width: 140px;
}
#myDiv img
{
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%;
margin: auto;
display: block;
}
The jQuery part:
var logoHeight = $('#myDiv img').height();
if (logoHeight < 104) {
var margintop = (104 - logoHeight) / 2;
$('#myDiv img').css('margin-top', margintop);
}
You have two ways of making the image responsive.
When an image is a background image.
#container{
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
background-image: url(https://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Lenovo-p780-camera-sample-10.jpg);
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
}
<div id="container"><div>
Run it here
But one should use img tag to put images as it is better than background-image in terms of SEO as you can write keyword in the alt of the img tag. So here is you can make the image responsive.
When image is in img tag.
#container{
max-width: 400px;
overflow: hidden;
}
img{
width: 100%;
object-fit: contain;
}
<div id="container">
<img src="https://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Lenovo-p780-camera-sample-10.jpg" alt="your_keyword"/>
<div>
Run it here
Make it simple!
Give the container a fixed height and then for the img tag inside it, set width and max-height.
<div style="height: 250px">
<img src="..." alt=" " style="width: 100%;max-height: 100%" />
</div>
The difference is that you set the width to be 100%, not the max-width.
You can set the image as the background to a div, and then use the CSS background-size property:
background-size: cover;
It will "Scale the background image to be as large as possible so that the background area is completely covered by the background image. Some parts of the background image may not be in view within the background positioning area" -- W3Schools
Check out my solution: http://codepen.io/petethepig/pen/dvFsA
It's written in pure CSS, without any JavaScript code.
It can handle images of any size and any orientation.
Given such HTML:
<div class="image">
<div class="trick"></div>
<img src="http://placekitten.com/415/200"/>
</div>
the CSS code would be:
.image {
font-size: 0;
text-align: center;
width: 200px; /* Container's dimensions */
height: 150px;
}
img {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
max-height: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
}
.trick {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
height: 150px;
}
There are several ways to fit the image to <div>.
img {
object-fit: cover;
}
The CSS object-fit property is used to specify how an <img> or <video> should be resized to fit its container.
This property tells the content to fill the container in a variety of ways; such as "preserve that aspect ratio" or "stretch up and take up as much space as possible".
fill - This is default. The image is resized to fill the given dimension. If necessary, the image will be stretched or squished to fit
contain - The image keeps its aspect ratio, but is resized to fit within the given dimension
cover - The image keeps its aspect ratio and fills the given dimension. The image will be clipped to fit
none - The image is not resized
scale-down - the image is scaled down to the smallest version of none or contain
You can find out more working samples here.
I have much better solution without need of any JavaScript. It is fully responsive, and I use it a lot. You often need to fit an image of any aspect ratio to a container element with a specified aspect ratio. And having whole this thing fully responsive is a must.
/* For this demo only */
.container {
max-width: 300px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.img-frame {
box-shadow: 3px 3px 6px rgba(0, 0, 0, .15);
background: #ee0;
margin: 20px auto;
}
/* This is for responsive container with specified aspect ratio */
.aspect-ratio {
position: relative;
}
.aspect-ratio-1-1 {
padding-bottom: 100%;
}
.aspect-ratio-4-3 {
padding-bottom: 75%;
}
.aspect-ratio-16-9 {
padding-bottom: 56.25%;
}
/* This is the key part - position and fit the image to the container */
.fit-img {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
margin: auto;
max-width: 80%;
max-height: 90%
}
.fit-img-bottom {
top: auto;
}
.fit-img-tight {
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%
}
<div class="container">
<div class="aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-1-1 img-frame">
<img src="https://via.placeholder.com/400x300" class="fit-img" alt="sample">
</div>
<div class="aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-4-3 img-frame">
<img src="https://via.placeholder.com/400x300" class="fit-img fit-img-tight" alt="sample">
</div>
<div class="aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 img-frame">
<img src="https://via.placeholder.com/400x400" class="fit-img" alt="sample">
</div>
<div class="aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 img-frame">
<img src="https://via.placeholder.com/300x400" class="fit-img fit-img-bottom" alt="sample">
</div>
</div>
You can set max-width and max height independently; the image will respect the smallest one (depending on the values and aspect ratio of the image). You can also set image to be aligned as you want (for example, for a product picture on an infinite white background you can position it to center bottom easily).
This solution doesn't stretch the image and fills the whole container, but it cuts some of the image.
HTML:
<div><img src="/images/image.png"></div>
CSS:
div {
width: 100%;
height: 10em;
overflow: hidden;
img {
min-width: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
}
I just published a jQuery plugin that does exactly what you need with a lot of options:
https://github.com/GestiXi/image-scale
Usage:
HTML
<div class="image-container">
<img class="scale" data-scale="best-fit-down" data-align="center" src="img/example.jpg">
</div>
JavaScript
$(function() {
$("img.scale").imageScale();
});
I see that many people have suggested object-fit which is a good option. But if you want it to work in older browsers as well, there is another way of doing it easily.
It's quite simple. The approach I took was to position the image inside the container with absolute and then place it right at the centre using the combination:
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
Once it is in the centre, I give to the image,
// For vertical blocks (i.e., where height is greater than width)
height: 100%;
width: auto;
// For horizontal blocks (i.e., where width is greater than height)
height: auto;
width: 100%;
This makes the image get the effect of object-fit:cover.
Here is a demonstration of the above logic.
https://jsfiddle.net/furqan_694/s3xLe1gp/
This logic works in all browsers.
The following works perfectly for me:
img{
height: 99999px;
object-fit:contain;
max-height: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
display: block;
margin: auto auto;
}
I fixed this problem using the following code:
<div class="container"><img src="image_url" /></div>
.container {
height: 75px;
width: 75px;
}
.container img {
object-fit: cover;
object-position: top;
display: block;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
A simple solution is to use Flexbox. Define the container's CSS to:
.container{
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
align-content: center;
overflow: hidden;
/* Any custom height */
}
Adjust the contained image width to 100% and you should get a nice centered image in the container with the dimensions preserved.
<style type="text/css">
#container{
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
height: 200px; /* Set height */
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
background-image: url('../assets/images/img.jpg');
background-size: content; /* Scaling down large image to a div */
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
}
</style>
<div id="container>
<!-- Inside container -->
</div>
As answered here, you can also use vh units instead of max-height: 100% if it doesn't work on your browser (like Chrome):
img {
max-height: 75vh;
}
I centered and scaled proportionally an image inside a hyperlink both horizontally and vertically this way:
#link {
border: 1px solid blue;
display: table-cell;
height: 100px;
vertical-align: middle;
width: 100px;
}
#link img {
border: 1px solid red;
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
max-height: 60px;
max-width: 60px;
}
It was tested in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari.
More information about centering is here.
Give the height and width you need for your image to the div that contains the <img> tag. Don't forget to give the height/width in the proper style tag.
In the <img> tag, give the max-height and max-width as 100%.
<div style="height:750px; width:700px;">
<img alt="That Image" style="max-height:100%; max-width:100%;" src="">
</div>
You can add the details in the appropriate classes after you get it right.
The code below is adapted from previous answers and is tested by me using an image called storm.jpg.
This is the complete HTML code for a simple page that displays the image. This works perfect and was tested by me with www.resizemybrowser.com. Put the CSS code at the top of your HTML code, underneath your head section. Put the picture code wherever you want the picture.
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#myDiv
{
height: auto;
width: auto;
}
#myDiv img
{
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%;
margin: auto;
display: block;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="myDiv">
<img src="images/storm.jpg">
</div>
</body>
</html>
You have to tell the browser the height of where you are placing it:
.example {
height: 220px; /* DEFINE HEIGHT */
background: url('../img/example.png');
background-size: 100% 100%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
Edit: Previous table-based image positioning had issues in Internet Explorer 11 (max-height doesn't work in display:table elements). I've replaced it with inline based positioning which not only works fine in both Internet Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 11, but it also requires less code.
Here is my take on the subject. It'll only work if the container has a specified size (max-width and max-height don't seem to get along with containers that don't have concrete size), but I wrote the CSS content in a way that allows it to be reused (add picture-frame class and px125 size class to your existing container).
In CSS:
.picture-frame
{
vertical-align: top;
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
}
.picture-frame.px125
{
width: 125px;
height: 125px;
line-height: 125px;
}
.picture-frame img
{
margin-top: -4px; /* Inline images have a slight offset for some reason when positioned using vertical-align */
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
border: 0; /* Remove border on images enclosed in anchors in Internet Explorer */
}
And in HTML:
<a href="#" class="picture-frame px125">
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/lesa2wS.png"/>
</a>
DEMO
/* Main style */
.picture-frame
{
vertical-align: top;
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
}
.picture-frame.px32
{
width: 32px;
height: 32px;
line-height: 32px;
}
.picture-frame.px125
{
width: 125px;
height: 125px;
line-height: 125px;
}
.picture-frame img
{
margin-top: -4px; /* Inline images have a slight offset for some reason when positioned using vertical-align */
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
border: 0; /* Remove border on images enclosed in anchors in Internet Explorer */
}
/* Extras */
.picture-frame
{
padding: 5px;
}
.frame
{
border:1px solid black;
}
<p>32px</p>
<a href="#" class="picture-frame px32 frame">
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/lesa2wS.png"/>
</a>
<a href="#" class="picture-frame px32 frame">
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/kFMJxdZ.png"/>
</a>
<a href="#" class="picture-frame px32 frame">

</a>
<a href="#" class="picture-frame px125 frame">
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/BDabZj0.png"/>
</a>
Edit: Possible further improvement using JavaScript (upscaling images):
function fixImage(img)
{
var $this = $(img);
var parent = $this.closest('.picture-frame');
if ($this.width() == parent.width() || $this.height() == parent.height())
return;
if ($this.width() > $this.height())
$this.css('width', parent.width() + 'px');
else
$this.css('height', parent.height() + 'px');
}
$('.picture-frame img:visible').each(function
{
if (this.complete)
fixImage(this);
else
this.onload = function(){ fixImage(this) };
});
The accepted answer from Thorn007 doesn't work when the image is too small.
To solve this, I added a scale factor. This way, it makes the image bigger and it fills the div container.
Example:
<div style="width:400px; height:200px;">
<img src="pix.jpg" style="max-width:100px; height:50px; transform:scale(4); transform-origin:left top;" />
</div>
Notes:
For WebKit you must add -webkit-transform:scale(4); -webkit-transform-origin:left top; in the style.
With a scale factor of 4, you have max-width = 400/4 = 100 and max-height = 200/4 = 50
An alternate solution is to set max-width and max-height at 25%. It's even simpler.
A simple solution (4-step fix!!) that seems to work for me, is below. The example uses the width to determine the overall size, but you can also flip it to use the height instead.
Apply CSS styling to the image container (for example, <img>)
Set the width property to the dimension you want
For dimensions, use % for relative size, or autoscaling (based on image container or display)
Use px (or other) for a static, or set dimension
Set the height property to automatically adjust, based on the width
ENJOY!
For example,
<img style="width:100%; height:auto;"
src="https://googledrive.com/host/0BwDx0R31u6sYY1hPWnZrencxb1k/thanksgiving.png"
/>
All the provided answers, including the accepted one, work only under the assumption that the div wrapper is of a fixed size. So this is how to do it whatever the size of the div wrapper is and this is very useful if you develop a responsive page:
Write these declarations inside your DIV selector:
width: 8.33% /* Or whatever percentage you want your div to take */
max-height: anyValueYouWant /* (In px or %) */
Then put these declarations inside your IMG selector:
width: "100%" /* Obligatory */
max-height: anyValueYouWant /* (In px or %) */
VERY IMPORTANT:
The value of maxHeight must be the same for both the DIV and IMG selectors.
The simplest way to do this is by using object-fit:
<div class="container">
<img src="path/to/image.jpg">
</div>
.container{
height: 300px;
}
.container img{
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
object-fit: cover;
}
If you're using Bootstrap, just add the img-responsive class and change to
.container img{
object-fit: cover;
}
If you're using Bootstrap, you just need to add the img-responsive class to the img tag:
<img class="img-responsive" src="img_chania.jpg" alt="Chania">
Bootstrap Images
As seen in my 2014 Codepen example, I've made a solution that would work for any unknown combination of width/height (aspect-ratio) with the help of a as little javascript as possible, to change the CSS of how the image is centered when the aspect-ratio of the container changes above/below the aspect ratio of the image:
Try resizing the container by dragging the bottom right corner:
// Detects when the window width is too narrow for the current image
// aspect-ratio, and fits it to height 100% instead of width 100%.
const photo = document.images[0]
const onPhotoResize = new ResizeObserver(entries =>
window.requestAnimationFrame(checkRatio)
)
onPhotoResize.observe(photo.parentNode)
function checkRatio(){
const photoParent = photo.parentNode,
imageAspectRatio = photo.clientWidth / photo.clientHeight,
parentAspectRatio = photoParent.clientWidth / photoParent.clientHeight
photo.classList[imageAspectRatio > parentAspectRatio ? 'add':'remove']('max')
}
.box{
width: 20%;
height: 60%;
margin: auto;
position: absolute;
top:0; left:0; right:0; bottom:0;
resize: both;
overflow: hidden;
border: 5px solid red;
}
.box > img{
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
width: 100%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}
.box > img.max{ width:auto; height:100%; }
<div class='box'>

The solution is easy with a bit of maths...
Just put the image in a div and then in the HTML file where you specify the image. Set the width and height values in percentages using the pixel values of the image to calculate the exact ratio of width to height.
For example, say you have an image that has a width of 200 pixels and a height of 160 pixels. You can safely say that the width value will be 100%, because it is the larger value. To then calculate the height value you simply divide the height by the width which gives the percentage value of 80%. In the code it will look something like this...
<div class="image_holder_div">
<img src="some_pic.png" width="100%" height="80%">
</div>
