Answer 2

<div style="display:table-cell; vertical-align:middle; text-align:center">
<img src="img.png">
</div>

Answer 3

This can also be done using the Flexbox layout:

STATIC SIZE

.parent {
    display: flex;
    height: 300px; /* Or whatever */
    background-color: #000;
}

.child {
    width: 100px;  /* Or whatever */
    height: 100px; /* Or whatever */
    margin: auto;  /* Magic! */
}

<div class="parent">
    <img class="child" src="https://i.vimeocdn.com/portrait/58832_300x300"/>
</div>

DYNAMIC SIZE

html, body {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  display: flex;
  background-color: #999;
}

* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

.parent {
  margin: auto;
  background-color: #000;
  display: flex;
  height: 80%;
  width: 80%;
}

.child {
  margin: auto;  /* Magic! */
  max-width: 100%;
  max-height: 100%;
}

<div class="parent">
  <img class="child" src="https://i.vimeocdn.com/portrait/58832_300x300"/>
</div>

I found the example in this article, which does a great job explaining the how to use layout.

Answer 4

Seems to me that you also wanted that image to be vertically centered within the container. (I didn't see any answer that provided that)

Working Fiddle:

1. Pure CSS solution
2. Not breaking the document flow (no floats or absolute positioning)
3. Cross browser compatibility (even IE6)
4. Completely responsive.

HTML

<div id="over">
    <span class="Centerer"></span>
    <img class="Centered" src="http://th07.deviantart.net/fs71/200H/f/2013/236/d/b/bw_avlonas_a5_beach_isles_wallpaper_image_by_lemnosexplorer-d6jh3i7.jpg" />
</div>

CSS

*
{
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
}
#over
{
    position:absolute;
    width:100%;
    height:100%;
    text-align: center; /*handles the horizontal centering*/
}
/*handles the vertical centering*/
.Centerer
{
    display: inline-block;
    height: 100%;
    vertical-align: middle;
}
.Centered
{
    display: inline-block;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

Note: this solution is good to align any element within any element. for IE7, when applying the .Centered class on block elements, you will have to use another trick to get the inline-block working. (that because IE6/IE7 dont play well with inline-block on block elements)

Answer 5

img.centered {
   display: block;
   margin: auto auto;
}

Answer 6

You can do this easily by using display:flex CSS property:

#over {
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
}

  

Answer 7

#over {position:relative; text-align:center; 
       width:100%; height:100%; background:#CCC;}

#over img{
    position: absolute;
    margin: auto;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    bottom: 0;
}

Answer 8

I still had some issues with other solution presented here. Finally this worked best for me:

<div class="parent">
    <img class="child" src="image.png"/>
</div>

css3:

.child {
 display: block;
 position: absolute;
 top: 50%;
 left: 50%;
 transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
 -webkit-transform: translate(-50%, -50%); /* Safari and Chrome */
 -moz-transform: translate(-50%, -50%); /* Firefox */
 -ms-transform: translate(-50%, -50%); /* IE 9 */
 -o-transform: translate(-50%, -50%); /* Opera */
 // I suppose you may like those too:
 // max-width: 80%;
 // max-height: 80%;
}

You can read more about that approach at this page.

Answer 9

Daaawx's answer works, but I think it would be cleaner if we eliminate the inline css.

body {
	margin: 0;
}

#over img {
	margin-left: auto;
	margin-right: auto;
	display: block;
}
div.example {
  position: absolute;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
}

<div class="example" id="over">
	<img src="http://www.garcard.com/images/garcard_symbol.png">
</div>

Answer 10

Basically, setting right and left margin to auto will cause the image to center align.

<div id="over" style="position:absolute; width:100%; height:100%>
<img src="img.png" style="display: block; margin: 0 auto;">
</div>

Answer 11

This would be a simpler approach

#over > img{
    display: block;
    margin:0 auto; 
}

Answer 12

SIMPLE. 2018. FlexBox. To Check Browser Support - Can I Use

Minimal Solution:

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

To get the widest browser support possible:

div#over { 
   display: -webkit-flex;
   display: -ms-flex; 
   display: flex; 
   justify-content: center; 
   -ms-align-items: center; 
   align-items: center; 
}

Answer 13

setting the img to display:inline-block while having set the superior div to text-align:center will do the job too

EDIT: to those folks who are playing with display:inline-block >>> don't forget that e.g. two divs like

<div>Div1 content</div>NOSPACEHERE<div>Div2 content</div>

really have no spaces between them (as seen here).

Just basic to avoid these (inline block inherent) gaps between them. These gaps can be seen between every two words I'm writing right now! :-) So .. hope this helps some of you.

Answer 14

Well, we are in 2016... why not use flexbox? It's also responsive. Enjoy.

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

<div id="over">
	<img src="http://www.garcard.com/images/garcard_symbol.png">
</div>

Answer 15

I've tried many approaches but only this one works for multiple inline elements inside a container div. Here is code to align everything in div at middle.

CSS

.divContainer
{
    vertical-align: middle;
    text-align: center; <!-- If you want horizontal center alignment -->
}
.divContainer > *
{
    vertical-align: middle;
}

HTML

<div class="divContainer">
    <span>Middle Text</span>
    <img src="test.png"/>
</div>

Sample code is here: https://jsfiddle.net/yogendrasinh/2vq0c68m/

Answer 16

CSS File

.over {
    display : block;
    margin : 0px auto;

Answer 17

The marked answer for this will not vertically align the image. A suitable solution for modern browsers is flexbox. A flex container can be configured to align its items both horizontally and vertically.

<div id="over" style="position:absolute; width:100%; height:100%; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center;">
    <img src="img.png">
</div>

Answer 18

Just set parent div css property "text-align:center;"

 <div style="text-align:center; width:100%">
        <img src="img.png"> 
 </div>

Answer 19

Try this minimal code:

<div class="outer">
    <img src="image.png"/>
</div>

And CSS:

.outer{
  text-align: center;
}
.outer img{
  display: inline-block;
}

Answer 20

many answer suggests to use margin:0 auto but this works only when the element you trying to make centered is not floating on left or right, that is float css attribute isn't set. In order to do this apply display attribute to table-cell and then apply margin of left and right to auto so your style will look like style="display:table-cell;margin:0 auto;"

Answer 21

    <div>
    <p style="text-align:center; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px;">
    <img src="image.jpg" alt="image"/>
    </p>    
    </div>

Answer 22

HTML:

<div id="over">
    <img src="img.png">
</div>

CSS:

#over {
  text-align: center;
}

#over img {
  vertical-align: middle;
}

Answer 23

For center horizontally Just put

#over img {
    display: block;
    margin: 0 auto;
    clear:both;
}

Another method:

#over img {
    display: inline-block;
    text-align: center;
}

For center vertically Just put:

   #over img {

           vertical-align: middle;
        }

Answer 24

This worked for me:

#image-id {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0; left: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0;
    width: auto;
    margin: 0 auto;
}

Answer 25

this did the trick for me.

<div class="CenterImage">
         <asp:Image ID="BrandImage" runat="server" />
</div>

'Note: do not have a css class assocaited to 'BrandImage' in this case

CSS:

.CenterImage {
    position:absolute; 
    width:100%; 
    height:100%
}

.CenterImage img {
    margin: 0 auto;
    display: block;
}

Answer 26

This worked for me when you have to center align image and your parent div to image has covers whole screen. i.e. height:100% and width:100%

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

Answer 27

Use positioning. The following worked for me...

With zoom to the center of the image (image fills the div):

div{
    display:block;
    overflow:hidden;
    width: 70px; 
    height: 70px;  
    position: relative;
}
div img{
    min-width: 70px; 
    min-height: 70px;
    max-width: 250%; 
    max-height: 250%;    
    top: -50%;
    left: -50%;
    bottom: -50%;
    right: -50%;
    position: absolute;
}

Without zoom to the center of the image (image does not fill the div):

   div{
        display:block;
        overflow:hidden;
        width: 100px; 
        height: 100px;  
        position: relative;
    }
    div img{
        width: 70px; 
        height: 70px; 
        top: 50%;
        left: 50%;
        bottom: 50%;
        right: 50%;
        position: absolute;
    }

Answer 28

I add some more properties to the CSS. Like so:

div#over {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
    -ms-align-items: center;
    display: -webkit-flex;
    display: -ms-flex; 
    display: flex;
}

Answer 29

for a long time, i also tried the solution to put the img at the center of the div, but for my case i just need this type of component on ajax loading progress so i simply tried the following solution, hope this helps for you!

<div id="loader" style="position: absolute;top: 0;right: 0;left: 0;bottom: 0;z-index: 1;background: rgba(255,255,255,0.5) url('your_image_url') no-repeat center;background-size: 135px;display: none;"></div>

Answer 30

You can take a look on this solution:

Centering horizontally and vertically an image in a box

<style type="text/css">
.wraptocenter {
    display: table-cell;
    text-align: center;
    vertical-align: middle;
    width: ...;
    height: ...;
}
.wraptocenter * {
    vertical-align: middle;
}
.wraptocenter {
    display: block;
}
.wraptocenter span {
    display: inline-block;
    height: 100%;
    width: 1px;
}
</style>
<!--[if lt IE 8]-->
<style>
.wraptocenter span {
    display: inline-block;
    height: 100%;
}
</style>
<!--[endif]-->

<div class="wraptocenter"><span></span><img src="..." alt="..."></div>
