How to Adjust Background Image Size in CSS
If you want to ensure that your background image stays within its container and is centered, you can use the following CSS code:
background-size: contain;
background-position: center;
Learn more about adjusting background size at
MDN Web Docs.
The 'contain' keyword scales the image to fit inside the container while maintaining aspect ratio. Any empty areas are filled with the specified background color.
Alternatively, you can use background-size: cover;
, which will fill the entire container with your image.
However, be cautious as using this may cut off parts of your image on screens with different ratios. This could make text or important elements within the image less visible.
If the container and image have different dimensions, parts of the image may be clipped.
Both methods have their benefits, so choose based on how you want your background image to behave. Remember, one solution may cut the image while the other creates a blank space around it.
