Examples

Reach for the bg-cover utility to grow the background image until it blankets the whole layer, trimming any overflow along the way:

<div class="bg-[url(/img/mountains.jpg)] bg-cover bg-center"></div>

Reach for the bg-contain utility to fit the background image to the outer edges without any cropping or stretching:

<div class="bg-[url(/img/mountains.jpg)] bg-contain bg-center"></div>

Reach for the bg-auto utility to paint the background image at its default size:

<div class="bg-[url(/img/mountains.jpg)] bg-auto bg-center bg-no-repeat"></div>

Reach for the bg-size-[<value>] syntax to define the background size from any fully custom value:

<div class="bg-size-[auto_100px] ...">  <!-- ... --></div>

For CSS variables, you can also reach for the bg-size-(<custom-property>) syntax:

<div class="bg-size-(--my-image-size) ...">  <!-- ... --></div>

Think of this as a tidy shorthand for bg-size-[var(<custom-property>)] that wires up the var() function on your behalf.

Add a breakpoint variant such as md: in front of a background-size utility so it kicks in only at medium screens and larger:

<div class="bg-auto md:bg-contain ...">  <!-- ... --></div>
