Solution 1:

You could add the below CSS, which covers the whole browser background with the image.

body { 
 background: url(images/cool.png) no-repeat center center fixed; 
 -webkit-background-size: cover;
 -moz-background-size: cover;
 -o-background-size: cover;
 background-size: cover;
}

Solution 2:

Is this what you are looking for?

In order to make the image cover the background of the body element you need to make its background-size: 100% 100% and background-repeat: no-repeat (if the background is set to repeat, the browser repeats the image instead of stretching it).

To inform the body background what size is exactly 100%, you need to give the body and its parent element html a defined size. Which, in this case, will be width: 100%; and height: 100%;. This ensures that the browser knows which size the image is relative to.
