How do I center a div both vertically and horizontally using Tailwind classes?

Asked on Nov 26, 2025

Answer

To center a div both vertically and horizontally in Tailwind CSS, you can use flexbox utilities. By setting the parent container to use `flex`, and then applying `justify-center` and `items-center`, you can achieve perfect centering.

<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
    <div class="flex items-center justify-center h-screen">
      <div class="bg-blue-500 text-white p-4">
        Centered Content
      </div>
    </div>
    <!-- END COPY / PASTE -->

Additional Comment:

The `flex` class makes the container a flexbox.
`justify-center` centers content horizontally.
`items-center` centers content vertically.
`h-screen` makes the container take the full height of the viewport.
