Shrink image to fit div12/24/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Say you’re using a CMS, and you’re allowing your users or authors to upload photos of themselves to use as an avatar next to their biography on the site.

In this article, we’ll use these attributes to crop, scale and position images, as a fallback or alternative to the CSS object-fit and object-position properties. ![]() One thing we can do with these attributes is control the scaling and position of the contents of the SVG. SVG comes with a pair of attributes - namely viewBox and preserveAspectRatio - that allow us to manipulate the contents of an SVG (whether vector content or raster images) in a myriad of ways to achieve a myriad of things. It all depends on the browser support you’re after. And since SVG goes way back and has much better support than newer CSS features, it is possible to use SVG either as a fallback or as a replacement to some CSS functionalities. And it so happens than some of what’s possible in CSS is also possible in SVG, either because the CSS functionlity was imported from SVG to begin with, or simply because SVG documents also happen to offer tools that achieve the same functionality. I’m also particularly interested in CSS and SVG as a combination (that I like to call “The Power Combo”) to solve common real-world challenges. After all, SVG on the Web isn’t just about displaying pretty and animated illustrations. I’m also always researching and looking for practical uses of SVG to add to my talk and workshop material that go beyond SVG the image format, and more into the document nature of it. I’m always interested in and thinking about ways to use SVG in my client projects to solve common UI challenges - uses that go beyond simple icon display and animated illustrations.
