I have a image of a background that looks like a wrinkled paper and I am trying to make the same background using CSS instead of the image.
is that even possible to make using css?
this is the image:
I don't think that this is possible to do with css (at least not efficiently)

I want to set background on my website like the one one tailwindcss.com. How can I accomplish this?
Tailwind Website
Still wondering how is this implemented.
Having inspected the Tailwind website for you, it appears they use a simple JPG image as the header background. Since it's not SVG, I can't know how it was made.
Another way to do this, a different approach to #Gugalcrom123's, is to use a css gradient.
Method 1. You can use a website such as this:
https://cssgradient.io/ to come up with the gradient and set that as a background. The website also generates you the code you can use to set it as the background, as well as a regular color fallback in case your browser does not support it. This is where Tailwind probably decided to use method 2.
Method 2. You can use GIMP, Photoshop or some similar drawing tool to draw a gradient, and put it as an image. You can also use Filter: blur() on the img in css to blur it with pixels or even use your drawing tool to blur it out! To make the grid, you can do a similar thing, except after drawing the grid, put it behind the gradient layer and set the gradient layer's opacity to something lower than 100%, so the grid shows behind it.
You can blur it using a filter: blur(10px); on CSS... But be careful, it might make your site slow.
Also, have a look at SVG FILTERS here: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2015/05/why-the-svg-filter-is-awesome/
I make a website, and actually i have a simple rectangular images.
I want to design my image and make a design like below.
So i tried to create a svg, and i wanted to put my picture inside .. but the problem is that svg cant be responsive.
Can i do it in full css ?
Or it's better to use a SVG ?
The best way could be to use Photoshop and design the picture, but if i can make it in css or using svg, it's better. i know that some website have similar design for their pictures, how they do ?
Ref: https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/pull/28072
It looks like the img-retina() mixin has been deprecated with the suggestion that we should use responsive image tags (I assume this is pictures with source sets?) and object-fit for background images?
Is there a standard/accepted way to replace/replicate the old retina background approach?
This blog post indicates that we should use position:absolute; images with source sets?
https://jasonyingling.me/better-performing-background-images-with-object-fit/
However I'm not sure this is suited for a tiled/repeating background image?
1) I know I can use a font icon using , pseudo selectors (before, after) and "content", but it is not a scalable solution, because I need to make many changes to padding, left, top etc in different situations
2) Using Data URI an svg is ok, but I need to change the fill/color of the svg
based on different actions. I tried the fill property but it is not really working.
I can change/edit the color external but I have a lot of variations and again doesn't scale
The icon fonts(ex: FontAwesome) come with SVG files for the browsers. It is possible to use somehow that file in css (like image sprites) ?
If you want to modify properties of SVG's it will have to be placed inline. So using an SVG as a background and modifying properties won't work.
Libraries like FontAwesome give you a font, not svg's which you can't set as a background either.
I don't see the problem of using the psuedo-selectors :before and :after for this. They are very scalable in my opinion.
If you really want to do it differently you should share some of your code with us so we can get a better understanding of what you're trying to do.
Supposing that I have a polygon image PNG file like this (No border, the shape is filled with one color, no gradient, and background of the image is transparent) http://www.enchantedlearning.com/crafts/books/shapes/gifs/4.GIF
I'm thinking of using that polygon image as a background image and it will be changed (to another image with different color) when the user hovers on it.
But I also want the color of the background image to be customizable. So, I'm thinking if there is any possibility to draw the polygon instead of using image files so that the color will be customizable (I don't think it's a good idea to create one file for one color and so on so forth).
What is the best solution for this case? Using png or drawing it by css?
Is there a tool/website to convert my png to css code?
Make the white areas transparent (colour to alpha in GIMP)
Convert the image to a data URI (it's optional but it will make your site load faster)
Use the url in (2) as the background-image and use any background-color you want.
Use this to convert an image: http://codepen.io/blazeeboy/pen/bCaLE
I think it's much better to use converted images because browsers load them faster.
I think CSS is the wrong thing to use for this. Yes, it is possible to create a lot of shapes using CSS, but there are limitations, and in any case, drawing shapes with CSS is a bit of a hack, even when it's just a simple triangle.
Rather than CSS, I would suggest SVG is the appropriate tools for this job.
SVG is a graphics format for vector graphics that can be embedded in a site, and can be created or altered via Javascript directly within the site. Changing the colour and shape of a simple polygon is about as easy as it gets with SVG.
The other advantage of using SVG is that because it's a vector graphic, it's scalable, so you could display it at any size.
The only down-side of SVG is that it isn't supported by old versions of IE (IE8 and earlier). However, these browsers do support an alternative language called VML, and several good Javascript libraries exist which will work with either, thus allowing you complete cross-browser compatibility. The one I'd recommend is Raphael.js.
So a tiny (and very easy) bit of Javascript code instead of a very messy bit of CSS. Seems like a winner to me.
Maybe u could use this: https://javier.xyz/img2css/, the principle is to use box-shadow,it's fine if the picture is small, so u should consider performance
