# How do the image scaling differ?

ovos play offers three different modes for image scaling: Fill, Fit and Original Size.

ovos play supports you with the correct image scaling and offers you the following selection options:

-   Fill
    
-   Fit
    
-   Original Size

## **Fill**

The system uses the full width and height of the display, the image fills the whole container and is eventually cropped.

You can find a live demo of this image scaling mode with different image formats in our Demo App.

## **Fit (Default)**

The image is fitted in the container used on the basis of the height and is not cropped. The unused area is replaced with a background colour.

## **Original Size**

The full size of the uploaded image is used, whereby the aspect ratio of the image is maintained. The full height of the image is always displayed; if the height is greater than the display, users have to scroll.

**Note:** The scaling of all three modes is always measured from the centre of the image.
