how to cover/stretch an image across the entire page css/html?-CodePudding

body{
    background-image: url("web.png");
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    width: 100%;
}

This is the code i tried, but it is not working and i also tried to use screen width as default width for the entire image.

CodePudding user response：

You can set the background size by using background-size property. In case of covering the whole page please use background-size: cover;.

body {
    background-image: url("https://picsum.photos/1080/1920");
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
}

To set the image as asked, you have to use background-size along with its attributes (try these three and then select the one suitable for you)

body{
    background-image: url("webp.png");
    background-size: 100% 100%; /* used to set the image to fit 100% of the screen's width and height*/
}

body{
        background-image: url("web.png");/* To cover the screen */
        background-repeat: no-repeat;
        background-size: cover;
    }
body{
        background-image: url("web.png");/*contains the image within the screen with with proper scale of the image*/
        background-repeat: no-repeat;
        background-size: contain;
}
