This seems trivial but after all the research and coding I can\'t get it to work. Conditions are:
html, body{width: 99%; height: 99%; overflow: hidden}
img.fit{width: 100%; height: 100%;}
Or maybe check this out: http://css-tricks.com/how-to-resizeable-background-image/
Resize Image to Fit the Screen by the Longest Side maintaining its Aspect Ratio
img[src$="#fit"] {
width: 100vw;
height: auto;
max-width: none;
max-height: 100vh;
object-fit: contain;
}
width: 100vw - image width will be 100% of view port
height: auto - image height will be scaled proportionally
max-height: 100vw - if image height would become more than view port it will be decreased to fit the screen, consequently image width will be decreased because of the following property
object-fit: contain - the replaced content is scaled to maintain its aspect ratio while fitting within the element's content box
Note: object-fit is fully supported only since IE 16.0
Building upon @Rohit's answer, this fixes issues flagged by Chrome, reliably resizes the images, and also works for multiple images that are vertically stacked, e.g. <img src="foo.jpg"><br><img src="bar.jpg"><br><img src="baz.jpg"> There is probably a more elegant way of doing this.
<style>
img {
max-width: 99vw !important;
max-height: 99vh !important;
}
</style>
<script>
function FitImagesToScreen() {
var images = document.getElementsByTagName('img');
if(images.length > 0){
document.styleSheets[1].rules[0].style["max-height"]=((100/images.length)-1)+"vh";
for(var i=0; i < images.length; i++){
if(images[i].width >= (window.innerWidth - 10)){
images[i].style.width = 'auto';
}
}
}
}
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY onload='FitImagesToScreen()' onresize='FitImagesToScreen()'>
<img src="foo.png">
</BODY>
My general lazy CSS rule:
.background{
width:100%;
height:auto;
background: url('yoururl.jpg') no-repeat center;
background-position: 50% 50%;
background-size: 100% cover!important;
overflow:hidden;
}
This may zoom in on your image if it is low-res to begin with (that's to do with your image quality and size in dimensions. To center your image, you may also try (in the CSS)
display:block;
margin: auto 0;
to center your image
in your HTML:
<div class="background"></div>
Make it simple. Thanks
.bg {
background-image: url('https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1476820865390-c52aeebb9891?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&ixid=eyJhcHBfaWQiOjEyMDd9&w=1000&q=80');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
background-position: center;
height: 100vh;
width: 100vw;
}
<div class="bg"></div>
CSS3 introduces new units that are measured relative to the viewport, which is the window in this case. These are vh and vw, which measure viewport height and width, respectively. Here is a simple CSS only solution:
img {
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100vh;
height: auto;
}
The one caveat to this is that it only works if there are no other elements contributing height on the page.
