title: Background Position Property
|
|
---
|
|
## Background Position Property
|
|
The background-property sets the position from where the background image should start. In other words, this property will take an x-value and a y-value and will start the image from the point `(x, y)`.
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
```css
|
|
/* setting background-image of HTML doc */
|
|
body {
|
|
background-image: url('https://i.imgur.com/6Z2VStD.png');
|
|
background-repeat: no-repeat;
|
|
background-position: right top;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
By default, background-position property is set to `0% 0%`.
|
|
|
|
**Property values:**
|
|
|
|
`background-position: x-value y-value` where,
|
|
|
|
_x-value_: `left | center | right | x% | x px`, and
|
|
|
|
_y-value_: `top | center | bottom | y% | y px`.
|
|
|
|
Other permitted property values are `initial` and `inherit`.
|
|
|
|
`initial`: Sets this property to its default value.
|
|
|
|
`inherit`: Inherits the value from parent element.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** When only one value is given to background-property then the other is, by default, set to `center`.
