How Do I Center an Image in Webflow?

by

Centering an image in Webflow can be easily achieved by using CSS styles. In this tutorial, we will explore different methods to center an image horizontally and vertically on a web page.

Method 1: Using CSS Flexbox

Step 1: First, make sure you have added an image element to your Webflow project. You can do this by dragging and dropping the Image component from the Elements panel onto your canvas.

Step 2: Select the image element and navigate to the Styles panel on the right-hand side of the Webflow Designer.

Step 3: Scroll down to the Display section and change the display property from “Inline” to “Flex”. This will allow us to use flexbox properties for centering our image.

Step 4: Next, go to the Justify section and select “Center” from the dropdown menu. This will horizontally center our image within its container.

Note: If you want to center the image vertically as well, proceed to step 5. Otherwise, skip to method 2 below.

Step 5: Scroll down further in the Styles panel until you find the Align section. Select “Center” from the dropdown menu. This will vertically center our image within its container.

Method 2: Using CSS Grid

If you prefer using CSS grid instead of flexbox, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the parent container that wraps around your image element.
  2. In the Styles panel, scroll down to Display section and change it from “Block” (the default value) to “Grid”.
  3. Next, go to the Grid section and set both the “justify-items” and “align-items” properties to “center”.
  4. Your image will now be centered horizontally and vertically within its container.

Tip: If you want to center multiple images within a grid layout, you can create additional grid items and apply the same styles mentioned above to each item.

Method 3: Using CSS Text-Align Property

If you are looking for a quick way to center an image within a text block, you can use the CSS text-align property. Here’s how:

  1. Select the parent element that contains your image.
  2. In the Styles panel, scroll down to Typography section and find the text-align property.
  3. Select “center” from the dropdown menu. This will center align all content within the parent element, including your image.

Note: This method works well for inline images within a paragraph or heading tag.
