Scale image with CSS but limit to orignial size

Question

For a responsive design, i would like to scale down some images:

img {
    width:100%;
    height:auto;
}

This works as expected, but if the width of the screen exceeds the original size of the image, it blows up the image.

Is there a way to limit this scaling to its original size? So that it only gets smaller if necessary?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Answer 1

You could use max-width to prevent image width from becoming larger than original size.

img {
    width: auto;
    max-width: 100%;
    height: auto;
}

Answer 2

Not answering for the scale bug for image size limit this could work:

img {
  max-height: max-content;
}
