I want to show an image from an URL with a certain width and height even if it has a different size ratio. So I want to resize (maintaining the ratio) and then cut the image to the size I want.
I can resize with html img property and I can cut with background-image.
How can I do both?
Example:
This image:

Has the size 800x600 pixels and I want to show like an image of 200x100 pixels
With img I can resize the image 200x150px:
<img
style="width: 200px; height: 150px;"
src="https://i.sstatic.net/wPh0S.jpg">
That gives me this:
<img style="width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://i.sstatic.net/wPh0S.jpg">
And with background-image I can cut the image 200x100 pixels.
<div
style="background-image:
url('https://i.sstatic.net/wPh0S.jpg');
width:200px;
height:100px;
background-position:center;"> </div>
Gives me:
<div style="background-image:url('https://i.sstatic.net/wPh0S.jpg'); width:200px; height:100px; background-position:center;"> </div>

Resize the image and then cut it the size I want?
You could use a combination of both methods eg.
.crop {
width: 200px;
height: 150px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.crop img {
width: 400px;
height: 300px;
margin: -75px 0 0 -100px;
}
<div class="crop">
<img src="https://i.sstatic.net/wPh0S.jpg" alt="Donald Duck">
</div>
You can use negative margin to move the image around within the <div/>.
