In the above code, we define the background-image to an HTML Elements. But the size of the image is very small then it will appealing as given below.
If the size of the image is small and that image will not repeat then you have to apply background-repeat: no-repeat;

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> body { background-image: url("ball.jpg"); background-repeat: no-repeat; } </style> </head> <body> <div> </div> </body> </html>
In the above code, we define the background-image and background-repeat to an HTML Elements. And the size of the image is small then that image repeat but we set no repeat than it will be shown once.
On the given code we apply repeat only on y-axis or vertical.
