Setting the Background Image Size
You can specify percentages and pre-defined values for background-image size. The size is then derived from the width and height of the image.
The background-size Values:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| contain | Scales the image, preserving the aspect ratio, to the largest size that can fit. |
| cover | Scales the image, preserving the aspect ratio, to the smallest size that can fit. |
| auto | Display the image at full size(default). |
