You can use the background-size property to specify the size of your background image.

Using background-size: cover;

The background-size CSS property specifies the size of the background images. The size of the image can be fully constrained or only partially in order to preserve its intrinsic ratio.

Here is the link for reference

html,
body {
  position: relative;
  height: 100%;
}

body {
  background-image: url(https://www.planwallpaper.com/static/images/bicycle-1280x720.jpg);
  background-size: cover;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-position: center;
}

This will help to fill with the background.

body {
  background-image: url('images/lvl1.jpg');
  -webkit-background-size: cover;
     background-size: cover;
}

You can do it by:

background-size: 100% 100%; 

or

background-size: contain;
