Contain an image within a div

Question

I want to contain an image into a 250 x 250 div  forcing the image to resize but not stretch  How can I do this  By the way  the image will usually be bigger than the div itself  which is why resizing comes into the picture    lt div id    container  gt     lt img src    whatever    gt   lt  div gt    container   width 250px  height 250px  border 1px solid  000      Here s a jsfiddle which someone can edit   http   jsfiddle net rV77g

You have to style the image like this   container img width 100      and the container with hidden overflow    container width 250px  height 250px  overflow hidden  border 1px solid  000

Since you don t want stretching  all of the other answers ignore that  you can simply set max-width and max-height like in my jsFiddle edit    container img       max-height  250px      max-width  250px       See my example with an image that isn t a square  it doesn t stretch

Use max width and max height  It will keep the aspect ratio    container img     max-width  250px   max-height  250px      http   jsfiddle net rV77g

Here is javascript I wrote to do just this   function ImageTile parentdiv  imagediv    imagediv style position    absolute    function load image                  Reset to auto so that when the load happens it resizes to fit our image and that        way we can tell what size our image is  If we don t do that then it uses the last used        values to auto-size our image and we don t know what the actual size of the image is             imagediv style height    auto       imagediv style width    auto       imagediv style top   0      imagediv style left   0       imagediv src   image       bind load event  need to wait for it to finish loading the image  imagediv onload   function         var vpWidth   parentdiv clientWidth      var vpHeight   parentdiv clientHeight      var imgWidth   this clientWidth      var imgHeight   this clientHeight       if  imgHeight  gt  imgWidth            this style height   vpHeight    px           var width     imgWidth imgHeight    vpHeight           this style width   width    px           this style left     vpWidth - width  2     px         else           this style width   vpWidth    px           var height     imgHeight imgWidth    vpWidth           this style height   height    px           this style top     vpHeight - height  2     px             return        load   load         And to use it just do something like this    var tile1   ImageTile document documentElement  document getElementById  tile1      tile1 load url     I use this for a slideshow in which I have two of these  tiles  and I fade one out and the other in  The loading is done on the  tile  that is not visible to avoid the jarring visual affect of the resetting of the style back to  auto

object-fit  behaves like background-size  solving the issue of scaling images up and down to fit   The object-fit CSS property specifies how the contents of a replaced element should be fitted to the box established by its used height and width   https   developer mozilla org en-US docs Web CSS object-fit   cover img       width  100       height  100       object-fit  cover      overflow  hidden      Browser Support There s no IE support  and support in Edge begins at v16  only for img element  https   caniuse com  search object-fit The bfred-it object-fit-images polyfill works very well for me in IE11  tested on Browserstack  demo   Alternative without polyfill using an image in SVG For Edge pre v16  and ie9  ie10  ie11   You can crop and scale any image using CSS object-fit and object-position  However  these properties are only supported in the latest version of MS Edge as well as all other modern browsers  If you need to crop and scale an image in Internet Explorer and provide support back to IE9  you can do that by wrapping the image in an  lt svg gt   and using the viewBox and preserveAspectRatio attributes to do what object-fit and object-position do  http   www sarasoueidan com blog svg-object-fit  summary-recap   The author explains the technique thoroughly  and duplicating the detail here would be impractical
