CSS Display an Image Resized and Cropped

Question

I want to show an image from an URL with a certain width and height even if it has a different size ratio. So I want to resize (maintaining the ratio) and then cut the imag

Answer 1

img {
    position: absolute;
    clip: rect(0px,60px,200px,0px);
} 

Answer 2

If you are using Bootstrap, try using { background-size: cover; } for the <div> maybe give the div a class say <div class="example" style=url('../your_image.jpeg');> so it becomes div.example{ background-size: cover}

Answer 3

With CSS3 it's possible to change the size of a background-image with background-size, fulfilling both goals at once.

There are a bunch of examples on css3.info.

Implemented based on your example, using donald_duck_4.jpg. In this case, background-size: cover; is just what you want - it fits the background-image to cover the entire area of the containing <div> and clips the excess (depending on the ratio).

.with-bg-size {
  background-image: url('https://i.stack.imgur.com/wPh0S.jpg');
  width: 200px;
  height: 100px;
  background-position: center;
  /* Make the background image cover the area of the <div>, and clip the excess */
  background-size: cover;
}

<div class="with-bg-size">Donald Duck!</div>

Answer 4

img {
  position: absolute;
  clip: rect(0px, 140px, 140px, 0px);
}

<img src="w3css.gif" width="100" height="140" />

Answer 5

What I've done is to create a server side script that will resize and crop a picture on the server end so it'll send less data across the interweb.

It's fairly trivial, but if anyone is interested, I can dig up and post the code (asp.net)

<p class="crop"><a href="http://templatica.com" title="Css Templates">
    <img src="img.jpg" alt="css template" /></a></p>

.crop {
    float: left;
    margin: .5em 10px .5em 0;
    overflow: hidden; /* this is important */
    position: relative; /* this is important too */
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
    width: 150px;
    height: 90px;
}
.crop img {
    position: absolute;
    top: -20px;
    left: -55px;
}
