How can I center align (horizontally) an image inside its container div?
Here's the HTML and CSS. I have also included the CSS for the other elements of the thumbnail. It runs in descending order so the highest element is the container of everything and the lowest is inside everything.
#thumbnailwrapper { color: #2A2A2A; margin-right: 5px; border-radius: 0.2em; margin-bottom: 5px; background-color: #E9F7FE; padding: 5px; border: thin solid #DADADA; font-size: 15px } #artiststhumbnail { width: 120px; height: 108px; overflow: hidden; border: thin solid #DADADA; background-color: white; } #artiststhumbnail:hover { left: 50px }
Okay, I have added the markup without the PHP in so should be easier to see. Neither solution seems to work in practice. The text at top and bottom cannot be centered and the image should be centered within its container div. The container has overflow hidden so I want to see the center of the image as that's normally where the focus is.
img
's are subject to text-align: center
unless their display
has been modified.
text-align: center
img
was enclosed in the a
. I'm dumb.
#artiststhumbnail a img {
display:block;
margin:auto;
}
Here's my solution in: http://jsfiddle.net/marvo/3k3CC/2/
CSS flexbox can do it with justify-content: center
on the image parent element. To preserve the aspect ratio of the image, add align-self: flex-start;
to it.
HTML
<div class="image-container">
<img src="http://placehold.it/100x100" />
</div>
CSS
.image-container {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}
Output:
body { background: lightgray; } .image-container { width: 200px; display: flex; justify-content: center; margin: 10px; padding: 10px; /* Material design properties */ background: #fff; box-shadow: 0 2px 2px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.14), 0 3px 1px -2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2), 0 1px 5px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.12); } .image-2 { width: 500px; align-self: flex-start; /* to preserve image aspect ratio */ } .image-3 { width: 300px; align-self: flex-start; /* to preserve image aspect ratio */ }
align-items
to center vertically. The various margin solutions don't work for me because the element to be centered doesn't have width and height attributes.
align-self
to the image element like this jsfiddle.net/3fgvkurd
I just found this solution below on the W3 CSS page and it answered my problem.
img {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
Source: http://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/center.en.html
max-width: 100%; max-height: 100%;
to resize the image if the screen smaller than image, but in this case it's not centered. Any suggestions on how to center with those two attributes applied
This also would do it
#imagewrapper {
text-align:center;
}
#imagewrapper img {
display:inline-block;
margin:0 5px;
}
text-align:center;
and margin:0 5px;
? I added a ;
The best thing I have found (that seems to work in all browsers) for centering an image, or any element, horizontally is to create a CSS class and include the following parameters:
CSS
.center {
position: relative; /* where the next element will be automatically positioned */
display: inline-block; /* causes element width to shrink to fit content */
left: 50%; /* moves left side of image/element to center of parent element */
transform: translate(-50%); /* centers image/element on "left: 50%" position */
}
You can then apply the CSS class you created to your tag as follows:
HTML
<img class="center" src="image.jpg" />
You can also inline the CSS in your element(s) by doing the following:
<img style="position: relative; display: inline-block; left: 50%; transform: translate(-50%);" src ="image.jpg" />
...but I wouldn't recommend writing CSS inline because then you have to make multiple changes in all your tags using your centering CSS code if you ever want to change the style.
transform: translate(-50%)
trick you show here, but uses it in conjunction with margin-left: 50%
, rather than left:50%
. It also contrasts solutions for when the item has` relative` vs absolute
positioning. This is mostly for my future reference, so I can refer here to your Answer, and a solution I previously used, in 1 (upvoted) location. :-) css-tricks.com/centering-css-complete-guide
transform: translate
trick: Essential rules are: 1) Make the container relative
ly positioned, which declares it to be a container for absolutely positioned elements. 2) Make the element itself absolute
ly positioned. 3) Place it halfway down the container with 'top: 50%' (or horizontally with left:50%
). 4) Use a translation
to move the element up by half its own height (or horizontally by half its width).
This is what I ended up doing:
<div style="height: 600px">
<img src="assets/zzzzz.png" alt="Error" style="max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%; display:block; margin:auto;" />
</div>
Which will limit the image height to 600px and will horizontally-center (or resize down if the parent width is smaller) to the parent container, maintaining proportions.
I am going to go out on a limb and say that the following is what you are after.
Note, the following I believe was accidentally omitted in the question (see comment):
<div id="thumbnailwrapper"> <!-- <<< This opening element -->
<div id="artiststhumbnail">
...
So what you need is:
#artiststhumbnail {
width:120px;
height:108px;
margin: 0 auto; /* <<< This line here. */
...
}
http://jsfiddle.net/userdude/XStjX/3/
Add this to your CSS:
#artiststhumbnail a img {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
Just referencing a child element which in that case is the image.
yeah, the code like this work fine
<div>
<img/>
</div>
but just to remind u, the style for image
object-fit : *depend on u*
so the final code be like Example
div { display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; } div img { object-fit: contain; }

To center an image horizontally, this works:
<p style="text-align:center"><img src=""></p>
A responsive way to center an image can be like this:
.center {
display: block;
margin: auto;
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%;
}
Put the picture inside a newDiv
. Make the width of the containing div
the same as the image. Apply margin: 0 auto;
to the newDiv
. That should center the div
within the container.
Use positioning. The following worked for me... (Horizontally and Vertically Centered)
With zoom to the center of the image (image fills the div):
div{
display:block;
overflow:hidden;
width: 70px;
height: 70px;
position: relative;
}
div img{
min-width: 70px;
min-height: 70px;
max-width: 250%;
max-height: 250%;
top: -50%;
left: -50%;
bottom: -50%;
right: -50%;
position: absolute;
}
Without zoom to the center of the image (image does not fill the div):
div{
display:block;
overflow:hidden;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
position: relative;
}
div img{
width: 70px;
height: 70px;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
bottom: 50%;
right: 50%;
position: absolute;
}
Center a image in a div
/* standar */ div, .flexbox-div { position: relative; width: 100%; height: 100px; margin: 10px; background-color: grey; } img { border: 3px solid red; width: 75px; height: 75px; } /* || standar */ /* transform */ .transform { position: absolute; top: 50%; left: 50%; transform: translate(-50%, -50%); -ms-transform: translate(-50%, -50%); /* IE 9 */ -webkit-transform: translate(-50%, -50%); /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */ } /* || transform */ /* flexbox margin */ .flexbox-div { display: -webkit-flex; display: flex; background-color: lightgrey; } .margin-img { margin: auto; } /* || flexbox margin */ /* flexbox justify align */ .flexbox-justify { justify-content: center; } .align-item { align-self: center; } /* || flexbox justify align */
I have tried a few ways. But this way works perfectly for me
<img src="~/images/btn.png" class="img-responsive" id="hide" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" />
Put an equal pixel padding for left and right:
<div id="artiststhumbnail" style="padding-left:ypx;padding-right:ypx">
you can align your content using flex box with minimum code
HTML
<div class="image-container">
<img src="https://image.freepik.com/free-vector/modern-abstract-background_1048-1003.jpg" width="100px">
</div>
CSS
.image-container{
width:100%;
background:green;
display:flex;
.image-container{ width:100%; background:green; display:flex; justify-content: center; align-items:center; }

If you have to do this inline (such as when using an input box),
here is a quick hack that worked for me: surround your (image link in this case)
in a div
with style="text-align:center"
<div style="text-align:center">
<a title="Example Image: Google Logo" href="https://www.google.com/"
target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://www.google.com/images/branding/googlelogo/2x/googlelogo_color_272x92dp.png" alt="Google Logo. Click to visit Google.com" border="0" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a>
<h6><strong>This text will also be centered </strong></h6>
</div> /* ends centering style */
.document { align-items: center; background-color: hsl(229, 57%, 11%); border-radius: 5px; display: flex; height: 40px; width: 40px; } .document img { display: block; margin: auto; }

##Both Vertically and Horizontally center of the Page
.box{
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
background-color: #232532;
position: fixed;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
margin: auto;
}
<div>
or <section>
Both Vertically and Horizontally center of the Page for all devices, simply you can use this style code!!!!
Style.css
img#center-img{
display: block;
margin: auto;
}
Html
<html>
<body>
<div>
<img src='pic.png' id='center-img'>
</div>
</body>
</html>
To center a image use this css. You have to give width at first of the image.
img{
width: 300px;
position: fixed;
left0;
right:0;
}
Success story sharing
margin: auto
is dependent on the containing element having a designated width value.img
I believe would need a width defined anyways to have any effect withauto
.
