How to fit an image inside a Bootstrap 3 div?
Solution 1
Just add you images width to 100%.
But as you are saying user will upload various kind of images, so can use object-fit
property.
Add the CSS like this:
.fit-image{
width: 100%;
object-fit: cover;
height: 300px; /* only if you want fixed height */
}
<div class="col-sm-6 col-md-6 col-lg-4">
<img src="images/dummy_image.png" class="img-responsive fit-image">
</div>

and object-position

Solution 2
For Bootstrap 4
<div class="col-sm-6 col-md-6 col-lg-4">
<img src="images/dummy_image.png" class="img-fluid">
</div>
bootstrap.css
.img-fluid {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto
}
Solution 3
It is safe to assume that by fitting you mean covering all of the width. This is because
- You typically do not know the height just by using
col-sm-6
orcol-md-6
orcol-lg-4
. - There is a huge probability of loss in aspect ratio of the image if you try to resize it according to your own will.
Use <img src = "images/dummy_image.png" class = "img-responsive" width = "100%" />
for fitting the column. This will fit your image width-wise into the column and will automatically modify the height (keeping the aspect ratio in mind), so you do not have to worry about image getting illogically resized.

I am using a
div
tag in code as shown below:<div class="col-sm-6 col-md-6 col-lg-4"> <img src="images/dummy_image.png" class="img-responsive"> </div>
The user can upload any kind of image and have it displayed here. I want to fit the image inside of the
div
, meaning specifically that I need to cover the fulldiv
using that image as it's resized.I am using Bootstrap 3.3.7. Please advise.
