How to vertically center an image inside of a div element in HTML using CSS?

I have a markup like this:

<div>
  <img />
</div>

The div is higher than img:

div {
  height: 100px;
}

img {
  height: dyn开发者_Python百科amic-value-smaller-than-100px;
}

I need the image to be in the middle of the div (have same amout of white space above and below it).

I tried this and it does not work:

div {
  vertical-align: middle;
}

if your image is purely decorative, then it might be a more semantic solution to use it as a background-image. You can then specify the position of the background

background-position: center center;

If it is not decorative and constitutes valuable information then the img tag is justified. What you need to do in such case is style the containing div with the following properties:

div{
    display: table-cell; vertical-align: middle 
}

Read more about this technique here. Reported to not work on IE6/7 (works on IE8).

Another way is to set your line-height in the container div, and align your image to that using vertical-align: middle.

html:

<div class="container"><img></div>

css:

.container {
  width: 200px; /* or whatever you want */
  height: 200px; /* or whatever you want */
  line-height: 200px; /* or whatever you want, should match height */
  text-align: center;
}

.container > img {
  vertical-align: middle;
}

It's off the top of my head. But I've used this before - it should do the trick. Works for older browsers as well.

Let's say you want to put the image (40px X 40px) on the center (horizontal and vertical) of the div class="box". So you have the following html:

<div class="box"><img /></div>

What you have to do is apply the CSS:

.box img {
    position: absolute;
    top: 50%;
    margin-top: -20px;
    left: 50%;
    margin-left: -20px;
}

Your div can even change it's size, the image will always be on the center of it.

This is a solution I've used before to accomplish vertical centering in CSS. This works in all the modern browsers.

http://www.jakpsatweb.cz/css/css-vertical-center-solution.html

Excerpt:

  <div style="display: table; height: 400px; position: relative; overflow: hidden;">
    <div style="position: absolute; top: 50%;display: table-cell; vertical-align: middle;">
      <div style="position: relative; top: -50%">
        any text<br>
        any height<br>
        any content, for example generated from DB<br>
        everything is vertically centered
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>

(Inline styles for demonstration purposes)

Another option is to set display:block on the img and then set margin: 0px auto;

img{
    display: block;
    margin: 0px auto;
}

As I too am constantly being let down by cross-browser CSS, I'd like to offer a JQuery solution here. This takes the height of each image's parent div, divide it by two and set it as a top margin between the image and the div:

$('div img').each(function() {
 m = Math.floor(($(this).parent('div').height() - $(this).height())/2);
 mp = m+"px";
 $(this).css("margin-top",mp);
});

There are five possible ways for centering an image with any size with pure CSS.

1. Using flex and making the img tag be inside (best solution for modern browsers):

   div {
       display: flex;
       align-items: center;
       justify-content: center
   }
   

2. Putting the image in background-image and using background-position (as @pixeline explained):

   div {
       background-image: url(...);
       background-position:center center
   }
   

3. Using display: table for parent element, and using display: table-cell with vertical-align: middle for child element:

   div.parent {
       display: table;
   }
   div.child {
       display: table-cell;
       vertical-align: middle;
   }
   

4. Using position:absolute with transform for the image and parent element position be not unset:

   div {
       position: relative;
   }
   div > img {
       position: absolute;
       left: 50%;
       top: 50%;
       transform: translate(-50%,-50%);
   }
   

5. Using line-height as same height of the element, then using vertical-align (in my opinion, the best solution for supporting more browsers like IE9>).

   Note: In some old browsers, sometimes for using this way safely, you need to have at least one character in the line that the image exist. For fixing this issue, I used a non-breakable space in a pseudo-element of the parent.

   As in the following example:

   div {
       display: block;
       height: 200px;
       width: 200px;
       background-color: purple;
       line-height: 200px;
       text-align: center;
   }
   div:after {
     content: "\a0";
   }
   div > img {
       vertical-align: middle;
   }

   <div><img src="https://via.placeholder.com/100.png/09f/fff" /></div>

I've posted about vertical alignment it in cross-browser way (Vertically center multiple boxes with CSS)

Create one-cell table. Only table has cross-browser vertical-align

image to be in the middle of the div

div img{ 
    bottom: 0;
    left: 0;
    margin: auto;
    position: absolute;
    right: 0;
    top: 0;
    height:50px;
    width:50px;
}

---

In your example, the div's height is static and the image's height is static. Give the image a margin-top value of ( div_height - image_height ) / 2

If the image is 50px, then

img {
    margin-top: 25px;
}

---

Have you tried setting margin on the div? e.g.

div {
    padding: 25px, 0
}

for top and bottom. You may also be able to use a percentage:

div {
    padding: 25%, 0
}

<div style="background-color:#006600; width:300px; text-align:center; padding:50px 0px 50px 0px;">
<img src="imges/import.jpg" width="200" height="200"/>
</div>

The accepted answer did not work for me. vertical-align needs a partner so that they can be aligned at their centers. So I created an empty div with full height of the parent div but with no width for the image to align with. inline-block is needed for both objects to stay in one line.

<div>
    <div class="placeholder"></div>
    <img />
</div>

CSS:

.class {
    height: 100%;
    width: 0%;
    vertical-align: middle;
    display: inline-block
}
img {
    display: inline-block;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

div {

width:200px; 
height:150px; 

display:-moz-box; 
-moz-box-pack:center; 
-moz-box-align:center; 

display:-webkit-box; 
-webkit-box-pack:center; 
-webkit-box-align:center; 

display:box; 
box-pack:center; 
box-align:center;

}

<div>
<img src="images/logo.png" />
</div>

If you want content to be what ever you need to have inside a div, this did the job for me:

<div style="
  display: table-cell;
  vertical-align: middle;
  background-color: blue;
  width: ...px;
  height: ...px;
">
    <div style="
      margin: auto;
      display: block;
      width: fit-content;
    ">
        <!-- CONTENT -->
        <img src="...">
        <p> some text </p>
    </div>
 </div>
