The only way is if the aspect ratio of all images is the same, then you can do this:
.fundo {
width: 100%;
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
background-size: contain;
background: url('https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/67/Wiki-llama.jpg/1600px-Wiki-llama.jpg') top center no-repeat;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.fundo:after {
padding-top: 75%;
/* essa lhama tem tamanho 800x600 então setamos um padding-top % equivalente a 600/800, ou .75, ele cria um height usando o padding para a div n colapsar */
display: block;
content: '';
}
.conteudo {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
left: 0;
color: black;
text-align: center;
margin-top: 5%;
}
<div class="fundo">
<div class="conteudo">

</div>
</div>
If the images are of different sizes you will need to read the size of the image after rendering (in the browser), and adjust the height using Javascript or JQuery for example. You can also do this in the backend before sending the data to the user (via PHP or JSP for example).
If you can change the HTML structure, it is much better to use the image tag for this, since it has just this function (image as a block):
div {
position: relative;
}
div img {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
}
div div {
position: absolute;
top:0;
left:0;
}
<div>
<img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/67/Wiki-llama.jpg/1600px-Wiki-llama.jpg" />
