How can I center elements using CSS in Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Select the target element, set left and right margins to Auto for horizontal centering.
  • For flexbox centering, set the parent’s display to Flex; use Justify: Center for horizontal and Align: Center for vertical aligning.
  • Use Typography settings to align text centrally.

To center elements in Webflow using CSS, you can utilize different methods depending on whether you're centering the element horizontally or vertically.

​

1. Horizontally Center with Margins

  • Select the element you want to center.
  • Go to the Style Panel.
  • In the Margin section, set the left and right margins to Auto. This auto margin will push your element to the center horizontally.

​

2. Centering Using Flexbox

  • Select the parent element that contains your target element.
  • Go to the Style Panel and set the display to Flex.
  • Under Justify, choose Center to center your items horizontally.
  • Under Align, choose Center if you also want to vertically align it.

​

3. Vertically Center Using Flexbox

  • Select the parent element.
  • Set the display to Flex.
  • Use Align: Center to vertically center your item(s) within the parent container.

​

4. Centering Text

  • Select the text element.
  • Go to the Typography settings in the Style Panel and choose Center from the text alignment options.

​

Summary

Centering elements in Webflow can be done by setting margins to Auto for horizontal alignment or using the Flexbox layout for more comprehensive control over vertical and horizontal centering. Simply apply the styles to the parent or target element using the Style Panel options.
