More «Try it Yourself» examples below.

Definition and Usage

The align-items property specifies the default alignment for items inside a flexbox or grid container.

• In a flexbox container, the flexbox items are aligned on the cross axis, which is vertical by default (opposite of flex-direction).
• In a grid container, the grid items are aligned in the block direction. For pages in English, block direction is downward and inline direction is left to right.

For this property to have any alignment effect, the items need available space around themselves in the appropriate direction.

Tip: Use the align-self property of each item to override the align-items property.

CSS Layout — Horizontal & Vertical Align

Setting the width of the element will prevent it from stretching out to the edges of its container.

The element will then take up the specified width, and the remaining space will be split equally between the two margins:

This div element is centered.

Example

Note: Center aligning has no effect if the width property is not set (or set to 100%).

Center Align Text

To just center the text inside an element, use text-align: center;

Example

Tip: For more examples on how to align text, see the CSS Text chapter.

Center an Image

To center an image, set left and right margin to auto and make it into a block element:

Example

Left and Right Align — Using position

One method for aligning elements is to use position: absolute; :

In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since.

Example

Note: Absolute positioned elements are removed from the normal flow, and can overlap elements.

Left and Right Align — Using float

Another method for aligning elements is to use the float property:

Example

The clearfix Hack

Note: If an element is taller than the element containing it, and it is floated, it will overflow outside of its container. You can use the «clearfix hack» to fix this (see example below).

Without Clearfix

With Clearfix

Then we can add the clearfix hack to the containing element to fix this problem:

Example

Center Vertically — Using padding

There are many ways to center an element vertically in CSS. A simple solution is to use top and bottom padding :

Example

To center both vertically and horizontally, use padding and text-align: center :

I am vertically and horizontally centered.

Example

Center Vertically — Using line-height

Another trick is to use the line-height property with a value that is equal to the height property:

I am vertically and horizontally centered.

Example

.center <
line-height: 200px;
height: 200px;
border: 3px solid green;
text-align: center;
>

/* If the text has multiple lines, add the following: */
.center p line-height: 1.5;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
>

Center Vertically — Using position & transform

If padding and line-height are not options, another solution is to use positioning and the transform property:

I am vertically and horizontally centered.

Example

.center <
height: 200px;
position: relative;
border: 3px solid green;
>

.center p margin: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
>

Tip: You will learn more about the transform property in our 2D Transforms Chapter.

Center Vertically — Using Flexbox

You can also use flexbox to center things. Just note that flexbox is not supported in IE10 and earlier versions:

Example

.center <
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
height: 200px;
border: 3px solid green;
>

Tip: You will learn more about Flexbox in our CSS Flexbox Chapter.

How to Align Content in CSS?

Arrangement of the content appearing on a website is highly significant when it comes to making your website exquisitely pleasing and enhancing its user experience. Content can be an HTML element (inline or block-level), some text, an image, etc. There are various approaches available in CSS to align these types of content on your web page. In this post, we are going to discuss some of these approaches to make the concept of content alignment clear to you.

Align Block-level Elements

There is a huge amount of elements that fall under the category of block-level elements such as

, to , , etc. You can align these elements in different ways. We have discussed some here for you.

How to center Align Text in CSS

You can align text using the CSS text-align property. This property renders different values such as left, right, center, and justify.

Suppose you want to align some text present inside a div container to the right. Follow the code below.

This text is right aligned. < / p >

We placed a

element inside a element and assigned a class “right” to the element.

Using the text-align property we are aligning the text to the right side of the div container.

The text has been aligned to the right using the text-align property.

Align Inline Elements

There comes such time when we need to align inline elements such as images. You can align these types of elements by changing their element type to block level using display property of CSS and then align it various css properties according to the need.

Align an Image

Using various CSS properties such as display, margin-left, or margin-right, you can align an image in whatever style you like.

Suppose you want to center align an image horizontally apart from whether it is in a container or not.

Here we have inserted an image using the tag.

To center align an image horizontally, set its display to block, and both margins(left and right) to auto. Moreover, you can provide some width or height of your choice.

The image has been center-aligned successfully.

Horizontal Alignment

Let’s explore different approaches that can be used to align block-level elements horizontally.

How to center align an element

Let’s suppose you have a and you want it to take only a specified amount of space instead of taking up the entire horizontal space and align it in the center of the page. Here is how you do it.

Here, we have created a element and nested a

element in it.

Now for the div element to take up the specified space only so that it does not stretch out to the corners of its container give it some width. To center align it horizontally, set the margin to auto.

The div has been center-aligned successfully.

How to align elements using position property

In this example, we will align a div container to the right using the absolute value of the position property.

Aligning Elements using CSS Position Property < / p >

This div is aligned to the right using the aboslute value of the CSS position property. < / p >

Here we have created two div containers to understand the working of absolute value of the position property. The class “div” is assigned to the first div tag and the class “green” is assigned to the second div tag.

Both div containers have been provided some style, however, the position property of second div has been set to absolute. Now the second div will be aligned with respect to the position of the first div.

Output

The “green” div has been absolutely positioned with respect to the the first div using the CSS position property.

How to align elements using the float property.

Suppose you want to float an div container to the right side of the page.

In the above code, we have created a div container and nested a

element in it.

Using the float property we are floating the entire div and the content inside it to the right.

The div container has been floated to the right successfully.

Vertical Alignment

Here we have explained some ways that you can use to align elements vertically.

How to align elements vertically using padding

Suppose you want vertically center some text present inside a div container.

This paragraph is centered vertically. < / p >

Here we have created a div element and nested a

element inside it.

In the above CSS code, we are giving the padding of 80px from the top and bottom and 0px from the left and right 0px to the

tag to center align it inside the div.

The text has been center-aligned successfully.

How to align elements using line-height

Using the same example as above we can center align text using the CSS line-height property as well.

Just set the line-height of the div container to 200px and then set the line-height of

element to 1.5.

The HTML elements have been aligned vertically as well as horizontally using line-height.

How to align elements vertically using flexbox

Again we are considering the same example and using flexbox this time to vertically and horizontally align elements.

Here, we are setting the display of the div container as flex and center aligning the content and items present inside the div container using justify-content and align-items properties provided by the flex-box CSS. Moreover, we are also providing some height and border to it as well.

The text is successfully center-aligned(both vertically and horizontally) using flexbox.

Conclusion

There are various approaches available in CSS to align the HTML elements such as you can vertically as well as horizontally align them to right, or left, or center using position property, float property, padding, line- height, or flexbox, etc. Furthermore you can use these properties to align text and images appearing on your website. We have discussed in detail some different approaches along suitable examples, that come in handy when dealing with alignment of the content on your web pages.
