Responsive Image Scaling While Keeping Focus
Posted onI’m detailing a nifty little css technique here to have a large hero image while keeping the subjects in focus and at their original relative position.
The key here is the background-position property using percentage values.
First, lets see the demo.
When you set background-position with a percentage, the background image is positioned at that percentage of its parent with that percentage of the image itself centered at that point. You really have to see the demo to understand.
Let me know how this works for you!
Clever stuff; thanks! I don’t suppose this works easily with an image slider/carousel containing multiple focal points.
Thank you. You’re correct, you can only do it with one focal point.
Thanks for the great solution. Is there any possibility to have the image responsive for HEIGHT and sides crop? If the height of the container was 200px – the image would resize/scale to 200px height but sides would crop.
