Definition and Usage

The background property is a shorthand property for:

It does not matter if one of the values above are missing, e.g. background:#ff0000 url(smiley.gif); is allowed.

Browser Support

The numbers in the table specify the first browser version that fully supports the property.

Note: See individual browser support for each value below.

CSS Syntax

background: bg-color bg-image position/bg-size bg-repeat bg-origin bg-clip bg-attachment initial|inherit;

Note: If one of the properties in the shorthand declaration is the bg-size property, you must use a / (slash) to separate it from the bg-position property, e.g. background:url(smiley.gif) 10px 20px/50px 50px; will result in a background image, positioned 10 pixels from the left, 20 pixels from the top, and the size of the image will be 50 pixels wide and 50 pixels high.

Note: If using multiple background-image sources but also want a background-color, the background-color parameter needs to be last in the list.

CSS background-image Property

The background-image property sets one or more background images for an element.

By default, a background-image is placed at the top-left corner of an element, and repeated both vertically and horizontally.

Tip: The background of an element is the total size of the element, including padding and border (but not the margin).

Tip: Always set a background-color to be used if the image is unavailable.

Default value:	none
Inherited:	no
Animatable:	no. Read about animatable

More Examples

Example

Sets two background images for the element. Let the first image appear only once (with no-repeat), and let the second image be repeated:

body <
background-image: url(«img_tree.gif»), url(«paper.gif»);
background-repeat: no-repeat, repeat;
background-color: #cccccc;
>

Example

Use different background properties to create a «hero» image:

.hero-image <
background-image: url(«photographer.jpg»); /* The image used */
background-color: #cccccc; /* Used if the image is unavailable */
height: 500px; /* You must set a specified height */
background-position: center; /* Center the image */
background-repeat: no-repeat; /* Do not repeat the image */
background-size: cover; /* Resize the background image to cover the entire container */
>

Example

Sets a linear-gradient (two colors) as a background image for a element:

Example

Sets a linear-gradient (three colors) as a background image for a element:

#grad1 <
height: 200px;
background-color: #cccccc;
background-image: linear-gradient(red, yellow, green);
>

Example

The repeating-linear-gradient() function is used to repeat linear gradients:

#grad1 <
height: 200px;
background-color: #cccccc;
background-image: repeating-linear-gradient(red, yellow 10%, green 20%);
>

Example

Sets a radial-gradient (two colors) as a background image for a element:

Example

Sets a radial-gradient (three colors) as a background image for a element:

#grad1 <
height: 200px;
background-color: #cccccc;
background-image: radial-gradient(red, yellow, green);
>

Example

The repeating-radial-gradient() function is used to repeat radial gradients:

#grad1 <
height: 200px;
background-color: #cccccc;
background-image: repeating-radial-gradient(red, yellow 10%, green 20%);
>

background-image

The background-image CSS property sets one or more background images on an element.

Try it

The background images are drawn on stacking context layers on top of each other. The first layer specified is drawn as if it is closest to the user.

The borders of the element are then drawn on top of them, and the background-color is drawn beneath them. How the images are drawn relative to the box and its borders is defined by the background-clip and background-origin CSS properties.

If a specified image cannot be drawn (for example, when the file denoted by the specified URI cannot be loaded), browsers handle it as they would a none value.

Note: Even if the images are opaque and the color won’t be displayed in normal circumstances, web developers should always specify a background-color . If the images cannot be loaded—for instance, when the network is down—the background color will be used as a fallback.

Syntax

background-image: linear-gradient( to bottom, rgba(255, 255, 0, 0.5), rgba(0, 0, 255, 0.5) ), url("catfront.png"); /* Global values */ background-image: inherit; background-image: initial; background-image: revert; background-image: revert-layer; background-image: unset; 

Each background image is specified either as the keyword none or as an value.

To specify multiple background images, supply multiple values, separated by a comma.

Values

Is a keyword denoting the absence of images.

Accessibility concerns

Browsers do not provide any special information on background images to assistive technology. This is important primarily for screen readers, as a screen reader will not announce its presence and therefore convey nothing to its users. If the image contains information critical to understanding the page’s overall purpose, it is better to describe it semantically in the document.

Formal definition

Initial value	none
Applies to	all elements. It also applies to ::first-letter and ::first-line .
Inherited	no
Computed value	as specified, but with url() values made absolute
Animation type	discrete

Examples

Layering background images

Note that the star image is partially transparent and is layered over the cat image.

HTML

div> p class="catsandstars">This paragraph is full of catsbr />and stars.p> p>This paragraph is not.p> p class="catsandstars">Here are more cats for you.br />Look at them!p> p>And no more.p> div> 

CSS

p  font-size: 1.5em; color: #fe7f88; background-image: none; background-color: transparent; > div  background-image: url("mdn_logo_only_color.png"); > .catsandstars  background-image: url("startransparent.gif"), url("catfront.png"); background-color: transparent; >
