Content images must be made using <img> tags to be able to add “alt” attribute and other advantages. But if you use images of different sizes in the same container, it might not look good. And in that case we need to fill the container with the image.

Before / After:
Solution
HTML markup:
<div class="image">
<img src="path/to/image" alt="">
</div>
SCSS mixin:
img {
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%;
}
@mixin imagecenter(
$padding: 100%, // image aspect ratio. It is a square image by default (value = 100%)
$fill: width // whether images are horizontal or vertical (height or width respectively)
) {
display: block;
height: 0;
padding-top: $padding;
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
img {
position: absolute;
left: -9999px;
right: -9999px;
top: -9999px;
bottom: -9999px;
margin: auto;
@if $fill == width {
width: 100%;
max-height: initial;
height: initial;
} @else {
height: 100%;
max-width: initial;
width: initial;
}
}
}
Usage:
.image{
@include imagecenter(69.5%, width);
}
