Background Position Property in CSS

  • The background-position property in CSS is used to specify the starting position of a background image within its container. It determines where the image will be placed in relation to the container's borders.
The background-position property accepts different values:
  • Keyword values: You can use keywords like top, bottom, left, right, and center to position the background image accordingly. For example, background-position: top right; will position the image at the top right corner of the container.
  • Length values: You can use length values such as pixels (px), percentages (%), or other valid CSS length units to set the precise position of the background image. For example, background-position: 10px 20px; will position the image 10 pixels from the left and 20 pixels from the top of the container.
  • Percentage values: You can use percentage values to position the background image relative to the container's dimensions. For example, background-position: 50% 25%; will position the image at the horizontal center (50%) and 25% from the top of the container.
  • Multiple values: You can provide two values separated by a space to set the horizontal and vertical positions independently. For example, background-position: left center; will position the image at the left center of the container.
Here's an example usage of the background-position property:
