CSS Grid provides powerful alignment properties to position the entire grid inside its container. The justify-content property aligns the grid horizontally, while align-content aligns it vertically within the container.
Syntax
.grid-container {
justify-content: value; /* Horizontal alignment */
align-content: value; /* Vertical alignment */
}
Possible Values
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
start |
Aligns grid to the start of the container |
center |
Centers the grid in the container |
end |
Aligns grid to the end of the container |
space-between |
Distributes space between grid tracks |
space-around |
Distributes space around grid tracks |
space-evenly |
Distributes space evenly between and around tracks |
Example: Horizontal Grid Alignment
The following example demonstrates how to align a grid horizontally using justify-content −
<!DOCTYPE html>

<style>
.container {

background-color: lightgray;
grid-template-columns: 100px 100px;
grid-template-rows: 80px 80px 80px;

}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<div class="container">

</html>
A light gray container with six green numbered boxes (1-6) arranged in a 2x3 grid. The grid is horizontally centered with equal spacing between and around the columns due to space-evenly alignment.
Conclusion
The justify-content and align-content properties provide flexible control over grid positioning within containers. Use these properties to create responsive layouts with proper spacing and alignment.
