I am developing a site where the users\' profile image needs to display in a circle. There are many circles on this site and the circle size can vary.
I can display
If you are using bootstrap you have class img-circle to do this.
<html>
<head>
<style>
#circle
{
border-radius:50% 50% 50% 50%;
width:300px;
height:300px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<img src="skin-tone.jpg"
id="circle">
</body>
</html>
set the image as background, centered.
<div class="image"></div>
css:
.image{
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
border-radius: 50%; /*don't forget prefixes*/
background-image: url("path/to/image");
background-position: center center;
/* as mentioned by Vad: */
background-size: cover;
}

background-size
MDN - CSS Tricks - Can I Use
As the image sizes are variable, you want to make sure they cover
the div as well as being center
ed within it.
Adding the border-radius: 50%;
will give you the circle effect.
.user {
display: inline-block;
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
border-radius: 50%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
background-size: cover;
}
.one {
background-image: url('http://placehold.it/400x200');
}
.two {
background-image: url('http://placehold.it/200x200');
}
.three {
background-image: url('http://placehold.it/200x400');
}
<div class="user one">
</div>
<div class="user two">
</div>
<div class="user three">
</div>
In practice, you wouldn't want to have a class for each image, so you'd specify it with an inline style in the markup:
<div class="user" style="background-image:url('path/to/user/img.png')"></div>
object-fit
MDN - CSS Tricks - Can I Use
A newer alternative is to use the object-fit
property on a regular <img>
tag. This does not work in IE or older versions of Edge.
.user {
display: inline-block;
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
border-radius: 50%;
object-fit: cover;
}
<img src="http://placehold.it/400x200" class="user">
<img src="http://placehold.it/200x200" class="user">
<img src="http://placehold.it/200x400" class="user">
