## Background Size
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The background-size property specifies the size of the background images. You can set a length or a percentage, with the first value being the width and the second one being the height. You can also use one of the 5 keyword values:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```css
 | 
						|
/* Background size property values that can be used */
 | 
						|
.auto {background-size: auto;}
 | 
						|
.cover {background-size: cover;}
 | 
						|
.contain {background-size: contain;}
 | 
						|
.initial {background-size: initial;}
 | 
						|
.inherit {background-size: inherit;}
 | 
						|
 /* Percentage, pixel, and viewport units can also be used */
 | 
						|
.pixel {background-size: 50px 50px;}
 | 
						|
.percentage {background-size: 50% 50%;}
 | 
						|
.view {background-size: 50vw 50vh;}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
Note: If using pixel or percentage for length and you only specify one value, 
 | 
						|
the second one will be set to auto by default.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To set this property on multiple background images separate values by comma:
 | 
						|
```css
 | 
						|
.multiple {
 | 
						|
    background-image: url(1.png), url(2.png);
 | 
						|
    background-size: 3px 3px, cover;
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
