Usage of CSS align-items property flex-end value

The CSS align-items property with the flex-end value is used to align flex items to the end of the cross-axis, which is typically the bottom of the flex container when using the default row direction.

Syntax

selector {
    display: flex;
    align-items: flex-end;
}

Example

The following example demonstrates how to align flex items to the bottom of their container using align-items: flex-end

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
    .mycontainer {
        display: flex;
        height: 300px;
        background-color: #e74c3c;
        align-items: flex-end;
        padding: 10px;
        border: 2px solid #333;
    }
    .mycontainer > div {
        background-color: #f39c12;
        text-align: center;
        line-height: 60px;
        font-size: 24px;
        width: 100px;
        height: 60px;
        margin: 5px;
        color: white;
        font-weight: bold;
        border-radius: 5px;
    }
</style>
</head>
<body>
    <h2>Quiz Items Aligned to Bottom</h2>
    <div class="mycontainer">
        <div>Q1</div>
        <div>Q2</div>
        <div>Q3</div>
        <div>Q4</div>
    </div>
</body>
</html>
A red container with four orange quiz items (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) aligned to the bottom of the container. Each item is a rounded rectangle with white text, positioned horizontally in a row but vertically aligned to the flex container's bottom edge.

Conclusion

The align-items: flex-end property effectively moves all flex items to the bottom of their container along the cross-axis. This is particularly useful for creating bottom-aligned navigation bars, footers, or any layout where content needs to stick to the bottom edge.
