How can I center text (horizontally and vertically) inside a div block?

You can try very easy code for this:

  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;

.box{ height: 90px; width: 90px; background: green; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; }

I always use the following CSS for a container, to center its content horizontally and vertically.

display: -webkit-box;
display: -moz-box;
display: -ms-flexbox;
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;

-webkit-box-align: center;
-moz-box-align: center;
-ms-flex-align: center;
-webkit-align-items: center;
align-items: center;

-webkit-box-pack: center;
-moz-box-pack: center;
-ms-flex-pack: center;
-webkit-justify-content: center;
justify-content: center;

You can use the flex property at the parent div and add the margin:auto property to the children items:

.parent {
    display: flex;
    /* You can change this to `row` if you want the items side by side instead of stacked */
    flex-direction: column;
}

/* Change the `p` tag to what your items child items are */
.parent p {
    margin: auto;
}

2020 Way

.parent{ 
  display: grid;
  place-items: center;
}

Approach 1

div { height: 90px; line-height: 90px; text-align: center; border: 2px dashed #f69c55; }

Approach 2

div { height: 200px; line-height: 200px; text-align: center; border: 2px dashed #f69c55; } span { display: inline-block; vertical-align: middle; line-height: normal; }

Approach 3

div { display: table; height: 100px; width: 100%; text-align: center; border: 2px dashed #f69c55; } span { display: table-cell; vertical-align: middle; }

# Parent
{
  display:table;
}

# Child
{
  display: table-cell;
  width: 100%; // As large as its parent to center the text horizontally
  text-align: center;
  vertical-align: middle; // Vertically align this element on its parent
}

Add the following code in the parent div

 display: grid;
 place-items: center;

<div class="small-container">
    <span>Text centered</span>
</div>

<style>
.small-container {
    width:250px;
    height:250px;
    border:1px green solid;
    text-align:center;
    position: absolute;
    top: 50%;
    left: 50%;
    -moz-transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
    -webkit-transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
    transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
}
.small-container span{
    position: absolute;
    top: 50%;
    left: 50%;
    -moz-transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
    -webkit-transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
    transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
}
</style>

div { height: 90px; line-height: 90px; text-align: center; border: 2px dashed #f69c55; }

GRID

.center {
    display: grid;
    justify-items: center;
    align-items: center;
}

.center { display: grid; justify-items: center; align-items: center; } .box { width: 200px; height: 100px; background: red; }

Adjusting line height to get the vertical alignment.

line-height: 90px;

.cell-row {display: table; width: 100%; height: 100px; background-color: lightgrey; text-align: center} .cell {display: table-cell} .cell-middle {vertical-align: middle}

This works for me (tested OK!):

HTML:

<div class="mydiv">
    <p>Item to be centered!</p>
</div>

CSS:

.mydiv {
    height: 100%; /* Or other */
    position: relative;
}

.mydiv p {
    margin: 0;
    position: absolute;
    top: 50%;
    left: 50%;
    margin-right: -50%;
    transform: translate(-50%, -50%); /* To compensate own width and height */
}

You can choose other values than 50%. For example, 25% to center at 25% of parent.

You can try the following methods:

If you have a single word or one line sentence, then the following code can do the trick. Have a text inside a div tag and give it an id. Define the following properties for that id. id-name { height: 90px; line-height: 90px; text-align: center; border: 2px dashed red; } Note: Make sure the line-height property is same as the height of the division. Image But, if the content is more than one single word or a line then this doesn’t work. Also, there will be times when you cannot specify the size of a division in px or % (when the division is really small and you want the content to be exactly in the middle). To solve this issue, we can try the following combination of properties. id-name { display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; border: 2px dashed red; } Image These 3 lines of code sets the content exactly in the middle of a division (irrespective of the size of the display). The "align-items: center" helps in vertical centering while "justify-content: center" will make it horizontally centered. Note: Flex does not work in all browsers. Make sure you add appropriate vendor prefixes for additional browser support.

Really simple code that works for me! Just one line and your text will be centered horizontally.

.center-horizontally{
  justify-content: center;
}

<Card.Footer className="card-body-padding center-horizontally">
  <label className="support-expand-text-light">Call or email Customer Support to change</label>
</Card.Footer>

The output looks like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <style>
      .maindiv {
        height: 450px;
        background: #f8f8f8;
        display: -webkit-flex;
        align-items: center;
        justify-content: center;
      }
      p {
        font-size: 24px;
      }
    </style>
  </head>

  <body>
    <div class="maindiv">
      <h1>Title</h1>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

For me this was the best solution:

HTML:

 <div id="outer">  
     <img src="logo.png">
 </div>

CSS:

#outer {
  position: fixed;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  /* bring your own prefixes */
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}

Apply style:

position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 0;
right: 0;

Your text would be centered irrespective of its length.

This worked for me:

.center-stuff{
    text-align: center;
    vertical-align: middle;
    line-height: 230px; /* This should be the div height */
}

This should be the right answer. Cleanest and simplest:

.element {
  position: relative;
  top: 50%;
  transform: translateY(-50%);
}

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>

    </head>
    <body>
        <div style ="text-align: center;">Center horizontal text</div>
        <div style ="position: absolute; top: 50%; left: 50%; transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);">Center vertical text</div>
    </body>
</html> 

Try the following example. I have added examples for each category: horizontal and vertical

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <style>
            #horizontal
            {
                text-align: center;
            }
            #vertical
            {
                position: absolute;
                top: 50%;
                left: 50%;
                transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
            }
         </style>
    </head>
    <body>
         <div id ="horizontal">Center horizontal text</div>
         <div id ="vertical">Center vertical text</div>
    </body>
</html>
