Last Updated :
14 Jan, 2024
The background-image Property is used to set one or more background images for an element. By default, it places the image in the top left corner. To specify two or more images, we need to specify the separate URLs with a comma for both images.
Syntax
background-image: url('url')|none|initial|inherit;
Property Values
|
url(‘url’)
|
This specifies the URL of the image. To specify the URL of more than one image then separate the URLs using a comma.

nope
|
This is the default case where no image can be displayed.
|
|
initial
|
It is used to set the property to its default value.
|
|
inherit

The background-image property can also be used with the following values:
|
linear-gradient()
|
It is used to set the linear-gradient background-image that is defined at least 2 color from top to bottom.
|
|
radial-gradient()
