Re-sizing images automatically to <div> size
2 min readOct 29, 2021
To get a responsive image to the div container size max-width property is used. The resize property will not work without the image width and height defined. Width property is also be used instead of max-width but the height value should be auto to achieve the responsive image
img{max-width: 100%;height: auto;}
The above property will work fine to get a responsive image.
The width of 100% takes the full width of the parent element and similarly for the height. The width and height of the image are adjusted to the div container.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"><head><title>Image resising</title><style>.container {width: 50%;height: 500px;margin: auto;}.empty {width: 50%;height: 100px;background-color: blueviolet;}img {width: 100%;height: auto;}</style></head><body><div class="container"><div class="empty"></div><div class="image"><img src="./CSS.jpeg" alt="CSS"></div></div></body></html>
Output:
In the above case, the image width will be 50% of the window it is displayed. Because the container size is 50% of the body element. The size of the image is changed according to the window size.
Thank You!!!
Have a good day!!!!
