The keyword to tell browsers to scale the image to cover the entire background while retaining proportions is "cover." The other options are "contain" (to scale the image to fit within the background while retaining proportions), "content" (not a valid keyword for background-size), and "auto" (to use the image's original size, which may result in it not covering the entire background).
