How do I center a div vertically with Tailwind utilities?

Asked on Oct 01, 2025

Answer

To center a div vertically using Tailwind CSS, you can utilize the flexbox utilities. By setting the parent container to display as flex and aligning items to the center, you achieve vertical centering.

<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
    <div class="flex items-center justify-center h-screen">
      <div class="bg-blue-500 text-white p-6 rounded">
        Centered Content
      </div>
    </div>
    <!-- END COPY / PASTE -->

Additional Comment:

The "flex" class makes the parent a flex container.
"items-center" vertically centers the child elements within the parent.
"justify-center" horizontally centers the child elements.
"h-screen" sets the height of the parent to the full viewport height, ensuring the child is centered vertically.
