borderimagerepeat

Borderimagerepeat is a CSS property that controls how an image used in a border is repeated. It specifies whether the image should be tiled, stretched, or clipped to fit the border area.

The property accepts several values. The most common is repeat, which tiles the image both horizontally and vertically, creating a seamless pattern. This is useful for creating decorative borders with repeating motifs.

Another value is round. This value tiles the image as many times as possible without clipping. If the image cannot be tiled perfectly, it is scaled to fit the space. This ensures that the entire image is visible, though it might appear slightly stretched or compressed.

The space value is similar to round, but it distributes the image tiles evenly within the border area. This means there will be equal spacing between the tiles, or between the tiles and the edges of the border.

no-repeat is also a valid value. As the name suggests, this prevents the image from repeating at all. The image will be placed once in the specified position, and the rest of the border area will be transparent or filled with the background color.

Finally, inherit is used to apply the border-image-repeat value of the parent element to the current element. This allows for cascading styles in a more complex stylesheet. The default value for border-image-repeat is unset.
