How to change an input button image using CSS?️‍🔥

The default button in HTML can be changed to an image using CSS. The required button is selected using the respective CSS selector. The background property can then be set to include a background image and change the image type as required. The border of the button can also be removed to show only the image itself.

Example-1: Setting an image to the button.

            background-size: cover; 
            width: 300px; 
            height: 200px; 
            font-size: 2rem; 
        }
