### Fit image in container
Changes the fit and position of an image within its container while preserving its aspect ratio. Previously only possible using a background image and the `background-size` property.
#### HTML
```html
<img class="image image-contain" src="https://picsum.photos/600/200">
<img class="image image-cover" src="https://picsum.photos/600/200">
```
#### CSS
```css
.image {
background: #34495e;
border: 1px solid #34495e;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}
.image-contain {
object-fit: contain;
object-position: center;
}
.image-cover {
object-fit: cover;
object-position: right top;
}
```
#### Demo
#### Explanation
- `object-fit: contain` fits the entire image within the container while preserving its aspect ratio.
- `object-fit: cover` fills the container with the image while preserving its aspect ratio.
- `object-position: [x] [y]` positions the image within the container.
