How do I stretch an image to fit the whole background (100% height x 100% width) in Flutter?

To make an Image fill its parent, simply wrap it into a FittedBox:

FittedBox(
  child: Image.asset('foo.png'),
  fit: BoxFit.fill,
)

FittedBox here will stretch the image to fill the space.
(Note that this functionality used to be provided by BoxFit.fill, but the API has meanwhile changed such that BoxFit no longer provides this functionality. FittedBox should work as a drop-in replacement, no changes need to be made to the constructor arguments.)


Alternatively, for complex decorations you can use a Container instead of an Image – and use decoration/foregroundDecoration fields.

To make the Container will its parent, it should either:

  • have no child
  • have alignment property not null

Here’s an example that combines two images and a Text in a single Container, while taking 100% width/height of its parent:

enter image description here

Container(
  foregroundDecoration: const BoxDecoration(
    image: DecorationImage(
        image: NetworkImage(
            'https://p6.storage.canalblog.com/69/50/922142/85510911_o.png'),
        fit: BoxFit.fill),
  ),
  decoration: const BoxDecoration(
    image: DecorationImage(
        alignment: Alignment(-.2, 0),
        image: NetworkImage(
            'http://www.naturerights.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Taranaki-NR-post-1170x550.png'),
        fit: BoxFit.cover),
  ),
  alignment: Alignment.bottomCenter,
  padding: EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 20),
  child: Text(
    "Hello World",
    style: Theme.of(context)
        .textTheme
        .display1
        .copyWith(color: Colors.white),
  ),
),
