The background-size property specifies the size of the background images. There are three keywords you can use with this property: auto: The background image is displayed in its original size; cover: Resize the background image to cover the entire container, even if it has to stretch the image or cut a little bit off one of the edges; contain: Resize the background image to make sure the image is fully visible. It overrides the value defined in the default style sheet.
