Tips for downsizing a large image to fit into a smaller area

I am working on a page layout that features a small circular navigation element. However, I am facing an issue with fitting a large picture within the boundaries of this small circle without it overflowing and causing alignment problems.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to properly insert a larger image into a confined space like this?

The dimensions of the circle are 97x97 pixels.

Appreciate any help in advance!

Answer №1

Update: Here is a fiddle that includes your code.

Your syntax for the background image was slightly off.

http://jsfiddle.net/rnnj3ebc/

Make sure to set the image as the background of the rounded element like this:

#nav {
    width:97px;
    height:97px;
    background:url('http://www.ansjewelry.com/images/NEC211_des.jpg') no-repeat center center;
    background-size:cover;
    border-radius:97px;
    border:1px solid #ccc;
}

http://jsfiddle.net/qpm0a6mm/

Answer №2

To perfectly fit an image using CSS, set the height and width according to your requirements. Let's assume the image's id is navPic.

You can style it with this CSS code:

#navpic {    
    width: 97px; 
    height: 97px;
}

Feel free to adjust the dimensions based on how you want the image to appear.

Answer №3

apply the following css rule:

background-size:cover;
