Is there a way to ensure that an image fits within a specified area using CSS or other methods? For example, if I have images of various sizes and want them all to fit into a div of 150px by 100px without stretching or distorting them. I just want the images to be contained within this area with any excess hidden.
I considered using overflow:hidden, but it seems that it doesn't work in IE6.
Do you have any suggestions or solutions for this issue?
For optimal image display, consider using the following CSS:
img{
width: auto;
max-width: 150px;
height: auto;
max-height: 100px;
}
Note: It has been observed that IE6 does not fully support max-width and max-height properties. A workaround can be found here.
If the above link becomes inaccessible, here is an excerpt of the workaround solution:
img {
max-height: 100px;
max-width: 100px;
width: expression(document.body.clientWidth > 150? “150px”: “auto”);
height: expression(document.body.clientHeight > 100? “100px”: “auto”);
}
When you mention "fitting within this area" while hiding the rest, it gives me the impression that you want the image to maintain its original size and simply cut off any excess.
I may be misunderstanding your query, but I recommend trying the following code to achieve the desired effect.
.img-holder {
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
}
.img-holder img {
position: absolute;
display: block;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}<div class="img-holder">
<img src="http://img.playit.pk/vi/dH6NIe7wm4I/mqdefault.jpg" />
</div>Although this may be an older solution, I stumbled upon it while searching for the same question. Perhaps it can help someone else looking for answers as well.
Since these responses were published, the CSS property object-fit has been introduced to fulfill the original request mentioned in the question.

Although not compatible with IE6 (as requested by the original poster), you can still achieve the desired outcome in modern browsers using CSS3's background-size:cover property and positioning the image as a centered background image. Here's an example:
div {
width:200px;
height:150px;
background-size:cover;
background-position:center center;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-image:url('anotherpic.jpg');
}
This solution worked perfectly for me:
img.optimal-size {
width: auto;
height: auto;
min-width: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
}
It aims to achieve a perfect fit within the container, adjusting its size to fill the boundaries while keeping the image's aspect ratio intact. Compatibility with IE6 has not been confirmed yet.
Try it out on JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/4zudggou/
Just in time for the celebration ;)
img {
width:inherit;
height:inherit;
object-fit: cover;
}
If you prefer the full image to be displayed, use this code instead
img {
width:inherit;
height:inherit;
object-fit: contain;
}
This should work like a charm.
