I'm trying to make an image overflow it's container. I have set the image to 100% height, and it's stretching. I want instead for it to overflow its container's width (I need to then hide that overflow). It's the right most part of the image I'm interested in.
Code coming...
If you set the height of the image to 100% of its container and if nothing is specified about the width, the width should change proportionately i.e. if too wide it should overflow as required. There should be no stretching.
.container {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
border: solid 10px red;
}
.container img {
width: auto;
height: 100%;
}
<div class="container">
<img src="https://picsum.photos/id/1016/500/300" />
</div>
So, is there something else in your CSS that is causing the stretching? e.g. are img widths set somewhere? (Hence, just in case, the width is explicitly set as auto in the snippet).
Which is the proper way to set width to an element, setting width to let's say 960px and max-width to 100% or the other way arround width 100% and max-width to 960px?
div { width: 960px; max-widht: 100% }
div { width: 100%; max-width: 960px }
set width 100% but not bigger than value,
div{ max-width: 960px; width: 100%;}
You can use bootstrap for responsive pages. It will help you to have best width for mobile and tablet. Also use media quires for best. Always go for a max width for a div or container.
I have an image and I want the height to be constant.
The width I want to be 100% of the container.
However, as you shrink the container, I want the image to truncate the right hand side so it doesn't go out of proportion.
You want the height to be 100% and the visible width to be 100%. Something like this:
<div id="container"><img src="http://mypic.jpeg" /></div>
div#container { height: 200px; width: 150px; overflow: hidden; }
div#container img { height: 100%;}
I make some homepage using wordpress.
i use this css code
.container { width: 960px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; }
actually looking good, content's position is center.
but sometimes change content, change margin
my resolution is 1920 width, content's width is 960px fixed.
content 1 has 960px width and margin is 475.75px
content 2 has 960px width and margin is 480px
i want 480px fixed.
what is problem?
Try to add content1 half the width of container , give margin auto .
.content1 { width:475x; margin:auto; word-wrap:break-word;}
I am rendering an image into a div. I want to avoid stretching of my image.
div {
height: 300px;
width: 300px;
}
img {
min-width: 300px;
min-height: 300px;
max-height: 300px;
}
My problem is that my image's width stretches. I want it to have the regular width even though parts of the image will be missing.
div {
height: 300px;
width: 300px;
overflow: hidden;
}
img {
height: 300px
max-width: none;
min-width: 300px;
}
You can achieve this with simply adding object-fit: cover;. An example might be like -
img {
height: 300px
width: 100%;
object-fit: cover;
}
I would forget setting the min-height and the max-height. Just set the height to be 300 pixels and put an overflow hidden on the div tag. That way no matter what the image size it will always stay in proportion and never go outside the boundaries of your div tag.
div { height: 300px; width: 300px; overflow: hidden; }
img { height: 300px; }
Put the image as the div background if you want to avoid stretching the easiest way (yet maintain the original width).
To make it more flexible as just using 300px use:
img {
width: 100%;
object-fit: cover;
}
Height is automatically adjusted
just specify max-width 100% and height :auto
Use max-width instead of min-width, and just set height to 300px (or only use max-height).
You can use overflow:hidden to hide any portion of the image outside of the width of the div.
div {
height: 300px;
width: 300px;
overflow: hidden;
}
img {
/*min-width: 300px;*/
height: 300px;
}
==>If you are gonna have fixed height and don't want width stretched
div {
height: 300px;
width: 300px;
overflow: hidden;
}
img {
height: 300px
}
==>If you are gonna have fixed width and don't want height stretched
div {
height: 300px;
width: 300px;
overflow: hidden;
}
img {
width: 300px
}
After giving the image a fixed height and width, I added object-fit as below:
img {
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
object-fit: contain;
}
To avoid the image from resizing use:
object-fit: none;
More about object-fit
The CSS object-fit property is used to specify how an or
should be resized to fit its container.
This property tells the content to fill the container in a variety of
ways; such as "preserve that aspect ratio" or "stretch up and take up
as much space as possible".
Object-fit Values
fill: this is default. The image is resized to fill the given
dimension. If necessary, the image will be stretched or squished to
fit.
contain: the image keeps its aspect ratio, but is resized to fit within the given dimension
cover: the image keeps its aspect ratio and fills the given dimension. The image will be clipped to fit
none: the image is not resized scale-down - the image is scaled down to the smallest version of none or contain.
More info and examples
I'm adding this to expand on the answers given since some of the answers given like adding width:100% height:auto" etc., will still technically stretch Images and/or make them blurry at times. Let me explain.
I work on a lot of eCommerce websites adding products etc and image stretching/blurring is always a problem. Most times, an image scaling down isn't that much of a issue, so the answers given as far as width:100%; height: auto; etc., work just fine. But there are problems when scaling up if the image's container width is larger than the image's native/normal width.
So for example, if you have an image whose width is 100px, and a div container whose width is 200px, if you add a width:100% and height: auto; to your image randomly, this won't technically "stretch" an image, but it will make it look blurry because you are stretching your image past its normal width.
To fix this, one thing i normally do is something like this, assuming on the desktop, that you have an image that you want to show at its 100% native width with no scaling/stretching/blurring whatsoever, I do something like:
img{
display:block;
margin:0px auto;
width: initial;
height: auto;
}
which keeps my images at their native width with no scaling whatsoever. But then, when an image is going to be seen on a smaller device, I add the same rule block into a media query and do something like:
#media all and (max-width: 1200px){
img{
width:100%;
height:auto;
}
}
What this is effectively saying is "Hey Image, make my image responsive from point A to point B(mobile devices), but once you go from point B to point C (small laptops to desktops where the image fits normally and doesn't need to stretch), make the width equal to its default native width".
Hope this helps. Happy coding everyone.
