you can use below css to get the same

working fiddle

input[type="checkbox"].hidden {
  display: none;
}

.demoCheck {
  border: 1px solid #ddd;
  width: 25px;
  height: 25px;
  display: block;
}

input[type="checkbox"]:checked.hidden + label {
  background: url(http://www.clipartsfree.net/vector/small/23493485345_Clipart_Free.png) center center no-repeat;
  background-size:cover;
}

<input type="checkbox" class="hidden" id="demo" >
<label for="demo" class="demoCheck demoCheckLabel"></label>

On Chrome, you'll need to overwrite the default browser settings like this.

input[type="checkbox"]{
    -webkit-appearance: none;
}

Here's a similar JS fiddle I made that might help you out.

May want to add the other browser compatible ones too. `-webkit-appearance: none; -moz-appearance: none; appearance: none;` – Polymer Jun 08 '17 at 12:02
Good shout @Polymer :) – alex Jun 08 '17 at 12:02
I've tried this. Couldn't get the default tick in the place of content. Unicode \2713 gives a curved one – R. Mani Selvam Jun 08 '17 at 12:04
Try a san-serif font, or consider using an image/icon. You can achieve this with an `:after` command – alex Jun 08 '17 at 12:07
