how do I make my image fit in properly?

I was working on a template, then I got stuck somewhere, some of my images overflows the container, I want to make it align properly within the container and grow with the container.

Lucky Chu You only need to add display: flow-root; to parent container Check out examples: https://code.sololearn.com/W1AQfe3zXvzM/?ref=app https://code.sololearn.com/W49VaXRafnT9/?ref=app flow-root The element generates a block element box that establishes a new block formatting context, defining where the formatting root lies. Read more https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/display https://caniuse.com/#feat=flow-root For supporting older browsers, you need to add clearfix instead.

Lucky Chu To add clearfix to a container, .parent .parent:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } https://code.sololearn.com/WUf0V4LuLnut/?ref=app

Lucky Chu you can do something like #myImg1 { height: ?%; width: ?%; } #myImg2 { height: ?%; width: ?%; } #myImg3 { height: ?%; width: ?%; } and so on setting your preferred sizing

Lucky Chu Do you mean the image wrap with text with float selector like the code showing here? (since you didn't show your code, we got to figure out how your code look like, by showing other code) https://code.sololearn.com/WcAnNwHyXp5q/?ref=app

https://www.sololearn.com/post/449731/?ref=app Here is your code and I totally get what you want. Well how I do mine is, I wrap my img tag in a container <div class="imgContainer"> <img src="#" /></div> then style the container instead of styling img tag itself. After styling the imgContainer, I'll now make my img tag width 100%to cover the imgContainer and I'll give it an object-fit: cover; then height 100% as well. Example .imgContainer{ Width: 400px; Height: 300px; Position: relative; } .imgContainer img{ Width: 100%; Height: 100%; Object-fit: cover; } But this method has a disadvantage if not tackled for mobile view cause of the "px"

Lucky Chu .img {background-image: url ("../ img / image.jpg"); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: cover} the background stretches in width and height

it's not a background image, it's an <img> tag.

Anna/Аня the width is on 50% and height is on auto, with max-height of 320px, if I add more text to the container, it will wrap the image(which I what I want), but then if the text is not enough, the image will overflow the container, which is what I don't want to happen, I was hoping the container gets scaled by the image's height. note: I didn't set a height for the container, because I needed it to scale as the text increases.
