The default button in HTML can be changed to an image using CSS. The required button is selected using the respective CSS selector. The background property can then be set to include a background image and change the image type as required. The border of the button can also be removed to show only the image itself.

Example-1: Setting an image to the button.




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  
<head>
    <title>

      button image using CSS?
  </title>
    <style>
        button {
            background-image: url(
            background-size: cover;
            width: 300px;
            height: 200px;
            font-size: 2rem;
        }
    </style>
</head>
  
<body>
    <h1 style="color: green">
      GeeksForGeeks
  </h1>
    <b>

      button image using CSS?
  </b>
    <p>
      The button below has a custom 
      background image applied through CSS
  </p>
    <button type="submit">
      Test button
  </button>
</body>
  
</html>


Output:

button-image

Example-2: Applying the image when the button is hovered upon. This effect can be useful in making buttons that react to the mouse.




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  
<head>
    <title>

            height: 200px;
            border: 0;
            cursor: pointer;
            font-size: 2rem;
        }
          
        button:hover {
            background-image: url(
            background-size: cover;
        }
    </style>
</head>
  
<body>
    <h1 style="color: green">

    <b>How to change an input

    <p>The button below has a custom
      background image applied 
      through CSS when hovered over it</p>
    
    <button type="submit">
      Test button
  </button>
</body>
  
</html>


Output:
