Hope this will answer the age old problem (Without using CSS background property)

Html

<div class="card-cont">
 <img src="demo.png" />
</div>

Css

.card-cont{
  width:100%;
  height:150px;
}

.card-cont img{
  max-width: 100%;
  min-width: 100%;
  min-height: 150px;
}

This is an old question I know  but this is in the top five for several related Google searches  Here s the CSS-only solution without changing the images to background images   width  auto  height  auto  max-width  MaxSize  max-height  MaxSize     MaxSize  is a placeholder for whatever max-width and max-height you want to use  in pixels or percentage  auto will increase  or decrease  the width and height to occupy the space you specify with MaxSize  It will override any defaults for images you or the viewer s browser might have for images  I ve found it s especially important on Android s Firefox  Pixels or percentages work for max size  With both the height and width set to auto  the aspect ratio of the original image will be retained   If you want to fill the space entirely and don t mind the image being larger than its original size  change the two max-widths to min-width  100  - this will make them completely occupy their space and maintain aspect ratio  You can see an example of this with a Twitter profile s background image

In a webpage where I wanted a in image to scale with browser size change and remain at the top  next to a fixed div  all I had to do was use a single CSS line  overflow hidden  and it did the trick  The image scales perfectly    What is especially nice is that this is pure css and will work even if Javascript is turned off   CSS    ImageContainerDiv     overflow  hidden      HTML    lt div id  ImageContainerDiv  gt     lt a href  URL goes here  target   blank  gt       lt img src  MapName png  alt  Click to load map    gt     lt  a gt   lt  div gt

You can use a background image to accomplish this   From MDN - Background Size  Contain      This keyword specifies that the background image should be scaled to be as large as possible while ensuring both its dimensions are less than or equal to the corresponding dimensions of the background positioning area    Demo  CSS    im       position  absolute      top  0      left  0      right  0      bottom  0      background-image  url  path to img        background-repeat  no-repeat      background-size  contain      HTML    lt div id  wrapper  gt       lt div id  im  gt       lt  div gt   lt  div gt

if you want both width and the height you can try    background-size  cover  important    but this wont distort the image but fill the div
