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

Asked on Nov 18, 2025

Answer

To center a div both horizontally and vertically using Tailwind CSS, you can utilize flexbox utilities. By setting the parent container to "flex" and using "justify-center" and "items-center", you can align the child div in the center.

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

Additional Comment:

"flex" makes the parent a flex container.
"justify-center" centers the child horizontally.
"items-center" centers the child vertically.
"h-screen" ensures the parent takes full viewport height, which is helpful for full-page centering.
