Definition and Usage
The background-image property sets one or more background images for an element.
By default, a background-image is placed at the top-left corner of an element, and repeated both vertically and horizontally.
Tip: The background of an element is the total size of the element, including padding and border (but not the margin).
Tip: Always set a background-color to be used if the image is unavailable.

More Examples
Example
Sets two background images for the <body> element. Let the first image appear only once (with no-repeat), and let the second image be repeated:
background-image: url("img_rose.png"), url("blue.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat, repeat;
background-color: #0054ff;
}
Example
Use different background properties to create a "hero" image:
background-image: url("road.jpg"); /* The image used */
background-color: #888; /* Used if the image is unavailable */
height: 500px; /* You must set a specified height */
background-position: center; /* Center the image */
background-repeat: no-repeat; /* Do not repeat the image */
background-size: cover; /* Resize the background image to cover the entire container */
}
Example
Sets a linear-gradient (two colors) as a background image for a <div> element:
height: 200px;
background-color: #0054ff;
background-image: linear-gradient(#0094ff, #0054ff);
}
Example
Sets a linear-gradient (three colors) as a background image for a <div> element:
height: 200px;
background-color: #0054ff;
background-image: linear-gradient(#0094ff, #0054ff, #0000ff);
}
Example
The repeating-linear-gradient() function is used to repeat linear gradients:

}
Example
The repeating-radial-gradient() function is used to repeat radial gradients:
