How to center an image with CSS?
To center an image on a web page, we have used the display, margin-left, and margin-right properties. Let us first see the display property.
The Display Property
To set an element as a block element, set the display property to block. In this case, our element is an image −
display: block;
The Margin-left Property
To set the left margin of an element, use the margin-left property in CSS. We have set the left margin for the image as auto that allows the web browser to calculate the left margin −
margin-left: auto;
The Margin-right Property
To set the right margin of an element, use the margin-right property in CSS. We have set the right margin for the image as auto that allows the web browser to calculate the left margin −
margin-right: auto;
Center an Image
Apply all the above properties on the image to center align an image −
img {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 50%;
}
Example
The following is the code to center an image with CSS −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<style>
img {
