I tried
background-image:url(" "); background-size:cover; background-repeat:no-repeat;
But when the screen gets to certain size (small) it doesn't show all the image. How do I fix that?

You could use "contain" instead of "cover" to insure the whole image is displayed, but then either the image will repeat or you get blank areas on the sides or top and bottom (known as "letterboxing").
The alternatives to these would distort the aspect ratio, which is generally even less desirable.
