How to Center Text Horizontally and Vertically Inside a DIV Block Using CSS

Topic: HTML / CSSPrev|Next

Answer: Use CSS Flex Layout

You can simply use the CSS3 flex layout model to align the text both vertically and horizontally center inside a DIV block. The flex or flexbox layout is supported in all major modern browsers.

Let's try out the following example to understand how it basically works:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Horizontally and Vertically Center Text Inside a DIV Block</title>
<style>
    .wrapper{     
        display: flex;
        align-items: center;
        justify-content: center;        
        background: #dbdfe5;
        height: 200px;
        margin: 10px;
    }
    .text-block {
        background: #abb1b8;
        flex: 0 0 auto;
        width: auto;
    }
</style>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="wrapper">
        <div class="text-block">Multiple lines of text<br> horizontally and vertically aligned.</div>
    </div>
</body>
</html>
