Like Chandan rightly said, you can set this as a background image using css. You can also use css to set the image to 100% width so that it is responsive depending on the screen size.

Courses Plus Student 11,734 PointsYou can set a background image for a specific div and not just for the whole page. Then you can size the div to how you want.
Remember to set it to no-repeat so that it does not repeat the background image
background-repeat: no-repeat;

Courses Plus Student 12,665 PointsTry to use the image as a background, you will be able to add content above that image. Hope this work for you.
