Resize image proportionally with CSS?
HtmlCssImage ResizingHtml Problem Overview
Is there a way to resize (scale down) images proportionally using ONLY CSS?
I'm doing the JavaScript way, but just trying to see if this is possible with CSS.
Html Solutions
Solution 1 - Html
To resize the image proportionally using CSS:
img.resize {
width:540px; /* you can use % */
height: auto;
}
Solution 2 - Html
Control size and maintain proportion :
#your-img {
height: auto;
width: auto;
max-width: 300px;
max-height: 300px;
}
Solution 3 - Html
If it's a background image, use background-size:contain.
Example css:
#your-div {
background: url('image.jpg') no-repeat;
background-size:contain;
}
Solution 4 - Html
Try
transform: scale(0.5, 0.5);
-ms-transform: scale(0.5, 0.5);
-webkit-transform: scale(0.5, 0.5);
Solution 5 - Html
You can use object-fit property:
.my-image {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
object-fit: contain;
}
This will fit image, without changing the proportionally.
Solution 6 - Html
Notice that width:50%
will resize it to 50% of the available space for the image, while max-width:50%
will resize the image to 50% of its natural size. This is very important to take into account when using this rules for mobile web design, so for mobile web design max-width
should always be used.
UPDATE: This was probably an old Firefox bug, that seems to have been fixed by now.

To scale an image by keeping its aspect ratio
Try this,
img {
max-width:100%;
height:auto;
}
Solution 8 - Html
Revisited in 2015:
<img src="http://imageurl" style="width: auto; height: auto;max-width: 120px;max-height: 100px">
I've revisited it as all common browsers now have working auto suggested by Cherif above, so that works even better as you don't need to know if image is wider than taller.
older version: If you are limited by box of 120x100 for example you can do
<img src="http://image.url" height="100" style="max-width: 120px">
Solution 9 - Html
<img style="width: 50%;" src="..." />
worked just fine for me ... Or am I missing something?
Edit: But see Shawn's caveat about accidentally upsizing.
Solution 10 - Html
The css properties max-width and max-height work great, but aren't supported by IE6 and I believe IE7. You would want to use this over height / width so you don't accidentally scale an image up. You would just want to limit the maximum height/width proportionately.
Solution 11 - Html
img{
max-width:100%;
object-fit: scale-down;
}
works for me. It scales down larger images to fit in the box, but leaves smaller images their original size.
Solution 12 - Html
I believe this is the easiest way to do it, also possible using through the inline style
attribute within the <img>
tag.
.scaled
{
transform: scale(0.7); /* Equal to scaleX(0.7) scaleY(0.7) */
}
<img src="flower.png" class="scaled">
or
<img src="flower.png" style="transform: scale(0.7);">
Solution 13 - Html
Use this easy scaling technique
img {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
@media {
img {
width: auto; /* for ie 8 */
}
}
Solution 14 - Html
img {
max-width:100%;
}
div {
width:100px;
}
with this snippet you can do it in a more efficient way
Solution 15 - Html
We can resize image using CSS in the browser using media queries and the principle of responsive design.
@media screen and (orientation: portrait) {
img.ri {
max-width: 80%;
}
}
@media screen and (orientation: landscape) {
img.ri { max-height: 80%; }
}
Solution 16 - Html
You always need something like this
html
{
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
at the top of your css file
Solution 17 - Html
Try this:
div.container {
max-width: 200px;//real picture size
max-height: 100px;
}
/* resize images */
div.container img {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
Solution 18 - Html
image_tag("/icons/icon.gif", height: '32', width: '32')
I need to set height: '50px', width: '50px' to image tag and this code works from first try note I tried all the above code but no luck so this one works and here is my code from my _nav.html.erb:
<%= image_tag("#{current_user.image}", height: '50px', width: '50px') %>
