Is there a css-only solution to scale an image into a bounding box (keeping aspect-ratio)? This works if the image is bigger than the container:
img {
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%;
}
Example:
But I want to scale up the image until a dimension is 100% of the container.
This question is related to
html
css
image
resize
autoresize
.boundingbox {
width: 400px;
height: 500px;
border: 2px solid #F63;
}
img{
width:400px;
max-height: 500px;
height:auto;
}
I'm editing my answer to further explain my soluton as I've got a down vote.
With the styles set as shown above in css, now the following html div will show the image always fit width wise and will adjust hight aspect ratio to width. Thus image will scale to fit a bounding box as asked in the question.
<div class="boundingbox"><img src="image.jpg"/></div>
Are you looking to scale upwards but not downwards?
div {
border: solid 1px green;
width: 60px;
height: 70px;
}
div img {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
min-height: 500px;
min-width: 500px;
outline: solid 1px red;
}
This however, does not lock aspect-ratio.
Today, just say object-fit: contain. Support is everything but IE: http://caniuse.com/#feat=object-fit
You can accomplish this with pure CSS and complete browser support, both for vertically-long and horizontally-long images at the same time.
Here's a snippet which works in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari (both using object-fit: scale-down
, and without using it):
figure {_x000D_
margin: 0;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.container {_x000D_
display: table-cell;_x000D_
vertical-align: middle;_x000D_
width: 80px;_x000D_
height: 80px;_x000D_
border: 1px solid #aaa;_x000D_
}_x000D_

.container_image {_x000D_
display: block;_x000D_
max-width: 100%;_x000D_
max-height: 100%;_x000D_
margin-left: auto;_x000D_
margin-right: auto;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.container2_image2 {_x000D_

object-fit: scale-down;_x000D_
border: 1px solid #aaa;_x000D_
}

This helped me:
.img-class {
width: <img width>;
height: <img height>;
content: url('/path/to/img.png');
}
Then on the element (you can use javascript or media queries to add responsiveness):
<div class='img-class' style='transform: scale(X);'></div>
Hope this helps!
Another solution without background image and without the need for a container (though the max sizes of the bounding box must be known):
img{
max-height: 100px;
max-width: 100px;
width: auto; /* These two are added only for clarity, */
height: auto; /* as the default is auto anyway */
}
img {
max-height: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
width: auto; /* These two are added only for clarity, */
height: auto; /* as the default is auto anyway */
}
div.container {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
}
For this you would have something like:
<table>
<tr>
<td>Lorem</td>
<td>Ipsum<br />dolor</td>
<td>
<div class="container"><img src="image5.png" /></div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
html:
<div class="container">
<img class="flowerImg" src="flower.jpg">
</div>
css:
.container{
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
}
.flowerImg{
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
object-fit: cover;
/*object-fit: contain;
object-fit: scale-down;
object-position: -10% 0;
object-fit: none;
object-fit: fill;*/
}
This example to stretch the image proportionally to fit the entire window.
An improvisation to the above correct code is to add $( window ).resize(function(){});
function stretchImg(){
$('div').each(function() {
($(this).height() > $(this).find('img').height())
? $(this).find('img').removeClass('fillwidth').addClass('fillheight')
: '';
($(this).width() > $(this).find('img').width())
? $(this).find('img').removeClass('fillheight').addClass('fillwidth')
: '';
});
}
stretchImg();
$( window ).resize(function() {
strechImg();
});
There are two if conditions. The first one keeps checking if the image height is less than the div and applies .fillheight
class while the next checks for width and applies .fillwidth
class.
In both cases the other class is removed using .removeClass()
Here is the CSS
.fillwidth {
width: 100%;
max-width: none;
height: auto;
}
.fillheight {
height: 100vh;
max-width: none;
width: auto;
}
You can replace 100vh
by 100%
if you want to stretch the image with in a div. This example to stretch the image proportionally to fit the entire window.
I have used table to center image inside the box. It keeps aspect ratio and scales image in a way that is totally inside the box. If the image is smaller than the box then it is shown as it is in the center. Below code uses 40px width and 40px height box. (Not quite sure how well it works because I removed it from another more complex code and simplified it little bit)
.SmallThumbnailContainer {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
float: left;
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
.SmallThumbnailContainer {
width: 40px;
margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px;
}
.SmallThumbnailContainer tr {
height: 40px;
text-align: center;
}
.SmallThumbnailContainer tr td {
vertical-align: middle;
position: relative;
width: 40px;
}
.SmallThumbnailContainer tr td img {
overflow: hidden;
max-height: 40px;
max-width: 40px;
vertical-align: middle;
margin: -1px -1px 1px -1px;
}
_x000D_
<table class="SmallThumbnailContainer" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>
<img src="https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/bf7d39f4ed9c289feca7de38a0093250?s=32&d=identicon&r=PG" width="32" height="32" alt="OP's SO avatar image used as a sample jpg because it is hosted on SO, thus always available" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Note: the native thumbnail size in this snippet is 32px x 32px, which is smaller than its 40px x 40px container. If the container is instead sized smaller than the thumbnail in any dimension, say 40px x 20px, the image flows outside the container in the dimensions that are smaller than the corresponding image dimension. The container is marked by a gray 1px border.
Thanks to CSS3 there is a solution !
The solution is to put the image as background-image
and then set the background-size
to contain
.
HTML
<div class='bounding-box'>
</div>
CSS
.bounding-box {
background-image: url(...);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: contain;
}
Test it here: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/playit.asp?filename=playcss_background-size&preval=contain
Full compatibility with latest browsers: http://caniuse.com/background-img-opts
To align the div in the center, you can use this variation:
.bounding-box {
background-image: url(...);
background-size: contain;
position: absolute;
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
Here's a hackish solution I discovered:
#image {
max-width: 10%;
max-height: 10%;
transform: scale(10);
}
This will enlarge the image tenfold, but restrict it to 10% of its final size - thus bounding it to the container.
Unlike the background-image
solution, this will also work with <video>
elements.
Interactive example:
function step(timestamp) {
var container = document.getElementById('container');
timestamp /= 1000;
container.style.left = (200 + 100 * Math.sin(timestamp * 1.0)) + 'px';
container.style.top = (200 + 100 * Math.sin(timestamp * 1.1)) + 'px';
container.style.width = (500 + 500 * Math.sin(timestamp * 1.2)) + 'px';
container.style.height = (500 + 500 * Math.sin(timestamp * 1.3)) + 'px';
window.requestAnimationFrame(step);
}
window.requestAnimationFrame(step);

#container {
outline: 1px solid black;
position: relative;
background-color: red;
}
#image {
display: block;
max-width: 10%;
max-height: 10%;
transform-origin: 0 0;
transform: scale(10);
}

The cleanest and simplest way to do this:
First some CSS:
div.image-wrapper {
height: 230px; /* Suggestive number; pick your own height as desired */
position: relative;
overflow: hidden; /* This will do the magic */
width: 300px; /* Pick an appropriate width as desired, unless you already use a grid, in that case use 100% */
}
img {
width: 100%;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
height: auto;
}
The HTML:
<div class="image-wrapper">
<img src="yourSource.jpg">
</div>
This should do the trick!
