5 CSS Ways to Center a Div
The complete guide to centering a div in CSS — covering all 5 production techniques with live interactive demos. <strong>Flexbox</strong> (the modern default, works for 95% of cases): <code>display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center</code> on the parent. <strong>CSS Grid</strong> (one-line shorthand): <code>display: grid; place-items: center</code>. <strong>Absolute positioning + transform</strong> (for overlays and modals): <code>position: absolute; top: 50%; left: 50%; transform: translate(-50%, -50%)</code>. <strong>Margin auto</strong> (for block elements with a known width): <code>margin: 0 auto</code> (horizontal only) or <code>margin: auto</code> with <code>position: absolute</code> + <code>inset: 0</code> (both axes). <strong>All methods side-by-side comparison</strong> — see every technique render the same content with visible axis crosshairs so you can see exactly where each method lands the element. All 5 demos are 100% pure CSS, MIT-licensed, copy-paste ready, with detailed explanations of which method to use when.
