Responsive css background images

Question

I have a website (g-floors.eu) and I want to make the background (in css I have defined a bg-image for the content) also responsive. Unfortunately I really don't have any idea on how to do this except for one thing that I can think of but it's quite a workaround. Creating multiple images and then using css screen size to change the images but I wanna know if there is a more practical way in order to achieve this.

Basically what I wanna achieve is that the image (with the watermark 'G') automatically resizes without displaying less of the image. If it's possible of course

Code I have so far (content part)

#content {
  background-image: url('../images/bg.png');
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  position: relative;
  width: 85%;
  height: 610px;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
}

Answer 1

This is an easy one =)

body {
    background-image: url(http://domains.com/photo.jpeg);
    background-position: center center;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-attachment: fixed;
    background-size: cover;
}

Take a look at the jsFiddle demo

Answer 2

Adaptive for square ratio with jQuery

var Height = $(window).height();
var Width = $(window).width();
var HW = Width/Height;

if(HW<1){
      $(".background").css("background-size","auto 100%");
    }
    else if(HW>1){
      $(".background").css("background-size","100% auto");
    }

Answer 3

If you want the entire image to show irrespective of the aspect ratio, then try this:

background-image:url('../images/bg.png');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-size:100% 100%;
background-position:center;

This will show the entire image no matter what the screen size.

Here is the best way i got.

#content   {
    background-image:url('smiley.gif');
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
    background-size:cover;
}

Check on the w3schools

More Available options

background-size: auto|length|cover|contain|initial|inherit;

Answer 5

I think, the best way to do it is this:

body {
    font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif;
    background:url("/images/image.jpg") no-repeat fixed bottom right transparent;
}

In this way there's no need to do nothing more and it's quite simple.

At least, it works for me.

I hope it helps.

    <style> 
         * {
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

#res_img {
  background: url("https://s15.postimg.org/ve2qzi01n/image_slider_1.jpg");
  width: 100%;
  height: 500px;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: 100% 100%;
  background-position: center;
  border: 1px solid red;
}

@media screen and (min-width:300px) and (max-width:500px) {
  #res_img {
    width: 100%;
    height: 200px;
  }
}

    </style>

<div id="res_img">
</div>
