CSS Background Image

CSS background-image

The background-image property specifies an image to use as the background of an element.

By default, the image is repeated so it covers the entire element.

Example

Set the background image for a page: 

body {
  background-image: url("paper.gif");
}

Example

This example shows a bad combination of text and background image. The text is hardly readable: 

body {
  background-image: url("bgdesert.jpg");
}

Note: When using a background image, use an image that does not disturb the text.

The background image can also be set for specific elements, like the

element:

Example

p {
  background-image: url("paper.gif");
}
