How can I vertically center a div element for all browsers using CSS?
HtmlCssAlignmentVertical AlignmentCenteringHtml Problem Overview
I want to center a div vertically with CSS. I don't want tables or JavaScript, but only pure CSS. I found some solutions, but all of them are missing Internet Explorer 6 support.

How can I center a div vertically in all major browsers, including Internet Explorer 6?
Html Solutions
Solution 1 - Html
Below is the best all-around solution I could build to vertically and horizontally center a fixed-width, flexible height content box. It was tested and worked for recent versions of Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and Safari.
.outer {
display: table;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
.middle {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.inner {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 400px;
/* Whatever width you want */
}
<div class="outer">
<div class="middle">
<div class="inner">
<h1>The Content</h1>
<p>Once upon a midnight dreary...</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
View A Working Example With Dynamic Content
I built in some dynamic content to test the flexibility and would love to know if anyone sees any problems with it. It should work well for centered overlays also -- lightbox, pop-up, etc.
Solution 2 - Html
The simplest way would be the following three lines of CSS:
1) position: relative;
2) top: 50%;
3) transform: translateY(-50%);
Following is an example:
div.outer-div {
height: 170px;
width: 300px;
background-color: lightgray;
}
div.middle-div {
position: relative;
top: 50%;
-webkit-transform: translateY(-50%);
-ms-transform: translateY(-50%);
transform: translateY(-50%);
}
<div class='outer-div'>
<div class='middle-div'>
Test text
</div>
</div>
Solution 3 - Html
One more I can't see on the list:
.Center-Container {
position: relative;
height: 100%;
}
.Absolute-Center {
width: 50%;
height: 50%;
overflow: auto;
margin: auto;
position: absolute;
top: 0; left: 0; bottom: 0; right: 0;
border: solid black;
}
- Cross-browser (including Internet Explorer 8 - Internet Explorer 10 without hacks!)
- Responsive with percentages and min-/max-
- Centered regardless of padding (without box-sizing!)
heightmust be declared (see Variable Height)- Recommended setting
overflow: autoto prevent content spillover (see Overflow)
Solution 4 - Html
Now the Flexbox solution is a very easy way for modern browsers, so I recommend this for you:
.container {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
height: 100%;
background: green;
}
body,
html {
height: 100%;
}
<div class="container">
<div>Div to be aligned vertically</div>
</div>
Solution 5 - Html
Actually, you need two div's for vertical centering. The div containing the content must have a width and height.
#container {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
margin-top: -200px;
/* Half of #content height */
left: 0;
width: 100%;
}
#content {
width: 624px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
height: 395px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
}
<div id="container">
<div id="content">
<h1>Centered div</h1>
</div>
</div>
Here is the result.
Solution 6 - Html
Edit 2020: only use this if you need to support old browsers like Internet Explorer 8 (which you should refuse to do ). If not, use Flexbox.
This is the simplest method I found and I use it all the time (jsFiddle demo here).
Thank Chris Coyier from CSS Tricks for this article.
<div class="v-wrap">
<article class="v-box">
<p>This is how I've been doing it for some time</p>
</article>
</div>
html, body{
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
.v-wrap{
height: 100%;
white-space: nowrap;
text-align: center;
}
.v-wrap:before{
content: "";
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
width: 0;
/* adjust for white space between pseudo element and next sibling */
margin-right: -.25em;
/* stretch line height */
height: 100%;
}
.v-box{
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
white-space: normal;
}
Support starts with Internet Explorer 8.
Solution 7 - Html
After a lot of research I finally found the ultimate solution. It works even for floated elements. View Source
.element {
position: relative;
top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%); /* or try 50% */
}
Solution 8 - Html
Use the CSS Flexbox align-items property to achieve this.
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
body {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
<div>This is centered vertically</div>
Solution 9 - Html
To center the div on a page, check the fiddle link.
#vh { margin: auto; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; bottom: 0; right: 0; } .box{ border-radius: 15px; box-shadow: 0 0 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4); padding: 25px; width: 100px; height: 100px; background: white; }
Another option is to use flex box, check the fiddle link.
<div class="vh">
<div>Div to be aligned vertically</div>
</div>
.vh { background-color: #ddd; height: 400px; align-items: center; display: flex; } .vh > div { width: 100%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle; }
Another option is to use a CSS 3 transform:
#vh { position: absolute; top: 50%; left: 50%; /transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);/ transform: translate(-50%, -50%); } .box{ border-radius: 15px; box-shadow: 0 0 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4); padding: 25px; width: 100px; height: 100px; background: white; }
Solution 10 - Html
The easiest solution is below:
.outer-div{
width: 100%;
height: 200px;
display: flex;
border:1px solid #000;
}
.inner-div{
margin: auto;
text-align: center;
border: 1px solid red;
}
<div class="outer-div">
<div class="inner-div">
Hey there!
</div>
</div>
Solution 11 - Html
Unfortunately — but not surprisingly — the solution is more complicated than one would wish it to be. Also unfortunately, you'll need to use additional divs around the div you want vertically centered.
For standards-compliant browsers like Mozilla, Opera, Safari, etc. you need to set the outer div to be displayed as a table and the inner div to be displayed as a table-cell — which can then be vertically centered. For Internet Explorer, you need to position the inner div absolutely within the outer div and then specify the top as 50%. The following pages explain this technique well and provide some code samples too:
- Vertical Centering in CSS
- Vertical Centering in CSS with Unknown Height (Internet Explorer 7 compatible) (Archived article courtesy of the Wayback Machine)
There is also a technique to do the vertical centering using JavaScript. Vertical alignment of content with JavaScript & CSS demonstrates it.
Solution 12 - Html
If someone cares for Internet Explorer 10 (and later) only, use Flexbox:
.parent {
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
background: yellow;
display: -webkit-flex;
display: -ms-flexbox;
display: flex;
-webkit-justify-content: center;
-ms-flex-pack: center;
justify-content: center;
-webkit-align-items: center;
-ms-flex-align: center;
align-items: center;
}
.centered {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: blue;
}
<div class="parent">
<div class="centered"></div>
</div>

Solution 13 - Html
A modern way to center an element vertically would be to use flexbox.
You need a parent to decide the height and a child to center.
The example below will center a div to the center within your browser. What's important (in my example) is to set height: 100% to body and html and then min-height: 100% to your container.
body, html {
background: #F5F5F5;
box-sizing: border-box;
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
#center_container {
align-items: center;
display: flex;
min-height: 100%;
}
#center {
background: white;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 10px;
text-align: center;
width: 200px;
}
<div id='center_container'>
<div id='center'>I am center.</div>
</div>
Solution 14 - Html
Centering only vertically
If you don't care about Internet Explorer 6 and 7, you can use a technique that involves two containers.
The outer container:
- should have
display: table;
The inner container:
- should have
display: table-cell; - should have
vertical-align: middle;
The content box:
- should have
display: inline-block;
You can add any content you want to the content box without caring about its width or height!
Demo:
<div class="outer-container">
<div class="inner-container">
<div class="centered-content">
Malcolm in the Middle
</div>
</div>
</div>
body {
margin: 0;
}
.outer-container {
position: absolute;
display: table;
width: 100%; /* This could be ANY width */
height: 100%; /* This could be ANY height */
background: #ccc;
}
.inner-container {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.centered-content {
display: inline-block;
background: #fff;
padding: 20px;
border: 1px solid #000;
}

Centering horizontally and vertically
If you want to center both horizontally and vertically, you also need the following.
The inner container:
- should have
text-align: center;
The content box:
- should re-adjust the horizontal text-alignment to for example
text-align: left;ortext-align: right;, unless you want text to be centered
Demo:
<div class="outer-container">
<div class="inner-container">
<div class="centered-content">
Malcolm in the Middle
</div>
</div>
</div>
body {
margin: 0;
}
.outer-container {
position: absolute;
display: table;
width: 100%; /* This could be ANY width */
height: 100%; /* This could be ANY height */
background: #ccc;
}
.inner-container {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: center;
}
.centered-content {
display: inline-block;
text-align: left;
background: #fff;
padding: 20px;
border: 1px solid #000;
}

Solution 17 - Html
This is always where I go when I have to come back to this issue.
For those who don't want to make the jump:
- Specify the parent container as
position:relativeorposition:absolute. - Specify a fixed height on the child container.
- Set
position:absoluteandtop:50%on the child container to move the top down to the middle of the parent. - Set margin-top:-yy where yy is half the height of the child container to offset the item up.
An example of this in code:
<style type="text/css">
#myoutercontainer {position:relative}
#myinnercontainer {position:absolute; top:50%; height:10em; margin-top:-5em}
</style>
...
<div id="myoutercontainer">
<div id="myinnercontainer">
<p>Hey look! I'm vertically centered!</p>
<p>How sweet is this?!</p>
</div>
</div>
Solution 18 - Html
It can be done in two ways
body{
left: 50%;
top:50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
OR
Using flex
body {
height:100%
width:100%
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}
align-items:center; makes the content vertically center
justify-content: center;makes the content horizontally center

Solution 21 - Html
The three lines of code using transform works practically on modern browsers and Internet Explorer:
.element{
position: relative;
top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%);
-moz-transform: translateY(-50%);
-webkit-transform: translateY(-50%);
-ms-transform: translateY(-50%);
}
I am adding this answer since I found some incompleteness in the previous version of this answer (and Stack Overflow won't allow me to simply comment).
-
'position' relative messes up the styling if the current div is in the body and has no container div. However 'fixed' seems to work, but it obviously fixes the content in the center of the viewport
-
Also I used this styling for centering some overlay divs and found that in Mozilla all elements inside this transformed div had lost their bottom borders. Possibly a rendering issue. But adding just the minimal padding to some of them rendered it correctly. Chrome and Internet Explorer (surprisingly) rendered the boxes without any need for padding

The answer from Billbad only works with a fixed width of the .inner div.
This solution works for a dynamic width by adding the attribute text-align: center to the .outer div.
.outer {
position: absolute;
display: table;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
text-align: center;
}
.middle {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.inner {
text-align: center;
display: inline-block;
width: auto;
}
<div class="outer">

Just do it: Add the class at your div:
.modal {
margin: auto;
position: absolute;
top: 0;

}
And read this article for an explanation. Note: Height is necessary.

I think a solid solution for all browsers without using Flexbox - "align-items: center;" is a combination of display: table and vertical-align: middle;.
CSS
.vertically-center
{
display: table;
width: 100%; /* Optional */
height: 100%; /* Optional */
}
.vertically-center > div
{
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;

Especially for parent divs with relative (unknown) height, the centering in the unknown solution works great for me. There are some really nice code examples in the article.
It was tested in Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Internet Explorer.
Some text
Any other text..."
/* This parent can be any width and height */ .block { text-align: center; }
/* The ghost, nudged to maintain perfect centering / .block:before { content: ''; display: inline-block; height: 100%; vertical-align: middle; margin-right: -0.25em; / Adjusts for spacing */ }
/* The element to be centered, can also be of any width and height */ .centered { display: inline-block; vertical-align: middle; width: 300px; }
Solution 30 - Html
The contents can be easily centered by using Flexbox. The following code shows the CSS for the container inside which the contents needs to be centered:
.absolute-center {
display: -ms-flexbox;
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
-ms-flex-align: center;
-webkit-align-items: center;
-webkit-box-align: center;
align-items: center;

There is a trick I found out recently: You need to use top 50%, and then you do a translateY(-50%).
.outer-div {
position: relative;
height: 150px;
width: 150px;
background-color: red;
}
.centered-div {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
-webkit-transform: translateY(-50%);
-ms-transform: translateY(-50%);
transform: translateY(-50%);
background-color: white;
}
<div class='outer-div'>
<div class='centered-div'>
Test text

I find this one most useful... It gives the most accurate 'H' layout and is very simple to understand.
The benefit of this markup is that you define your content size in a single place -> "PageContent".
The Colors of the page background and its horizontal margins are defined in their corresponding divs.
<div id="PageLayoutConfiguration"
style="display: table;
position:absolute; top: 0px; right: 0px; bottom: 0px; left: 0px;
width: 100%; height: 100%;">
<div id="PageBackground"
style="display: table-cell; vertical-align: middle;
background-color: purple;">
<div id="PageHorizontalMargins"
style="width: 100%;
background-color: seashell;">
<div id="PageContent"
style="width: 1200px; height: 620px; margin: 0 auto;
background-color: grey;">
My content goes here...
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
And here with CSS separated:
<div id="PageLayoutConfiguration">
<div id="PageBackground">
<div id="PageHorizontalMargins">
<div id="PageContent">
my content goes here...
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
#PageLayoutConfiguration{
display: table;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
right: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
left: 0px;
}
#PageBackground{
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
background-color: purple;
}
#PageHorizontalMargins{
style="width: 100%;

}
#PageContent{

The following is working in my case and was tested in Firefox.
#element {
display: block;
transform: translateY(50%);
-moz-transform: translateY(50%);
-webkit-transform: translateY(50%);
-ms-transform: translateY(50%);
}
The div's height and parent's height are dynamic. I use it when there are other elements on the same parent which is higher than the target element, where both are positioned horizontally inline.

By using the transform property we can do a vertically centered div easily.
.main-div {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #999;
font-size: 18px;
height: 450px;
max-width: 850px;
padding: 15px;
}
.vertical-center {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #1FA67A;
color: #FFFFFF;
padding: 15px;
position: relative;
top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%);
-moz-transform: translateY(-50%);
-webkit-transform: translateY(-50%);
-ms-transform: translateY(-50%);
-o-transform: translateY(-50%);
}
<div class="main-div">
<div class="vertical-center">
<span>"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

The best thing to do would be:
#vertalign{
height: 300px;
width: 300px;
position: absolute;
top: calc(50vh - 150px);
}
150 pixels because that's half of the div's height in this case.

Declare this Mixin:
@mixin vertical-align($position: relative) {
position: $position;
top: 50%;
-webkit-transform: translateY(-50%);
-ms-transform: translateY(-50%);
transform: translateY(-50%);
}
Then include it in your element:
.element{
@include vertical-align();
}

This is by far the easiest approach and works on non-blocking elements as well. The only downside is it's Flexbox, thus, older browsers will not support this.
<div class="sweet-overlay">
<img class="centered" src="http://jimpunk.com/Loading/loading83.gif" />
</div>

The important point here is, for vertical centering, we need to define a parent element (container) and the img must have a smaller height than the parent element.

This method doesn't use any transform. So it doesn't have a problem with the output becoming blurry.
position: absolute;
width: 100vw;
top: 25%;
bottom: 25%;
text-align: center;

Since each time I need to center div vertically I google for it over and over again and this answer always comes first I'll leave this for future me (since none of the provided solutions fit my need well):
So if one is already using bootstrap this can be done as below:
<div style="min-height: 100vh;" class="align-items-center row">
<div class="col" style="margin: auto; max-width: 750px;"> //optional style to center horizontally as well
//content goes here
</div>
</div>

I shared short version for who is want.
.firstDivision {
display: table;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
.firstDivision .verticalCenter {
text-align: center;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
<div class="firstDivision">
<div class="verticalCenter">
Text was centered for Vertical.
</div>
</div>

To vertical-align a box in web page, including Internet Explorer 6, you may use:
- Conditional comments
- The
haslayoutproperty display: table-valuefor others (and now flex)
/* Internet Explorer 8 and others */
.main {
width: 500px;
margin: auto;
border: solid;
}
html {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
display: table;
}
body {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
<!-- [if lte IE 7]>
<style> /* Should be in the <head> */
html, body , .ie {
height: 100%;
text-align: center;
white-space: nowrap;
}
.ie , .main{
display: inline; /* Used with zoom in case you take a block element instead an inline element */
zoom: 1;
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: left;
white-space: normal;
}
</style>
<b class="ie"></b>
<!--[endif]-->
<div class="main">
<p>Fill it up with your content </p>

</div>
Actually, Internet Explorer 7 would bring some trouble here being the only which will strictly apply height: 100% on HTML/body elements.
But, this is past and today and who still minds old versions of Internet Explorer, table/table-cell is just fine, display: flex is promising, and display: grid will show up some day.
Another nowdays example via flex
html {
display: flex;
min-height: 100vh;/* or height */
}
body {
margin: auto;
}
<div>Div to be aligned vertically</div>
Solution 46 - Html
Here is a simple way, with almost no code:
CSS code:
.main{
height: 100%;
}
.center{
top: 50%;
margin-top: 50%;
}
HTML code:
<div class="main">
<div class="center">
Hi, I am centered!
</div>
</div>
Your text will be in the middle of the page!
