Add a Background Image

Y

ou can use an image as the background on your page with the CSS background-image

property. A background image can be placed within any element on the page, although putting

it in the body so that it comprises the background for the entire page is common. Although you can

in theory use any JPEG, GIF, or PNG for your background, you should be careful to ensure that the

image does not distract from the page, so you should pick an image that does not contain a lot of

contrast and is overall fairly subtle.
