Vertically align center with bootstrap 4

Add this class: d-flex align-items-center to the element

Example

If you had this:

<div class="col-3">

change it to this:

<div class="col-3 d-flex align-items-center>

Update 2020 Bootstrap 4 includes flexbox  so the method of vertical centering is much easier and doesn t require extra CSS  Just use the d-flex and align-items-center utility classes    lt div class  quot jumbotron d-flex align-items-center quot  gt     lt div class  quot container quot  gt      content    lt  div gt   lt  div gt   http   www codeply com go ui6ABmMTLv Important  Vertical centering is relative to height  The parent container of the items you re attempting to center must have a defined height  If you want the height of the page use vh-100 or min-vh-100 on the parent  For example   lt div class  quot jumbotron d-flex align-items-center min-vh-100 quot  gt     lt div class  quot container text-center quot  gt      I am centered vertically    lt  div gt   lt  div gt    Also see  https   stackoverflow com questions 42252443 vertical-align-center-in-bootstrap-4

for bootstrap4 vertical center of few items

d-flex for flex rules

flex-column for vertical direction on items

justify-content-center for centering

style='height: 300px;' must have for set points where center be calc or use h-100 class

then for horizontal center div d-flex justify-content-center and some container

so we have hierarhy of 3 tag: div-column -> div-row -> div-container

     <div class="d-flex flex-column justify-content-center bg-secondary" 
        style="height: 300px;">
        <div class="d-flex justify-content-center">
           <div class=bg-primary>Flex item</div>
        </div>
        <div class="d-flex justify-content-center">
           <div class=bg-primary>Flex item</div>
        </div>
      </div>

The Flexible box way  Vertical alignment is now very simple by the use of Flexible box layout  Nowadays  this method is supported in a wide range of web browsers except Internet Explorer 8  amp  9  Therefore we d need to use some hacks polyfills or different approaches for IE8 9   In the following I ll show you how to do that in only 3 lines of text  regardless of old flexbox syntax    Note  it s better to use an additional class instead of altering  jumbotron to achieve the vertical alignment  I d use vertical-center class name for instance   Example Here  A Mirror on jsbin     lt div class  jumbotron vertical-center  gt   lt  --                         --- Added class  -- gt     lt div class  container  gt             lt  div gt   lt  div gt     vertical-center     min-height  100       Fallback for browsers do NOT support vh unit      min-height  100vh     These two lines are counted as one  -              display  flex    align-items  center      Important notes  Considered in the demo     A percentage values of height or min-height properties is relative to the height of the parent element  therefore you should specify the height of the parent explicitly  Vendor prefixed   old flexbox syntax omitted in the posted snippet due to brevity  but exist in the online example  In some of old web browsers such as Firefox 9  in which I ve tested   the flex container -  vertical-center in this case - won t take the available space inside the parent  therefore we need to specify the width property like  width  100   Also in some of web browsers as mentioned above  the flex item -  container in this case - may not appear at the center horizontally  It seems the applied left right margin of auto doesn t have any effect on the flex item  Therefore we need to align it by box-pack   justify-content    For further details and or vertical alignment of columns  you could refer to the topic below    vertical-align with Bootstrap 3     The traditional way for legacy web browsers  This is the old answer I wrote at the time I answered this question  This method has been discussed here and it s supposed to work in Internet Explorer 8 and 9 as well  I ll explain it in short   In inline flow  an inline level element can be aligned vertically to the middle by vertical-align  middle declaration  Spec from W3C      middle   Align the vertical midpoint of the box with the baseline of the parent box plus half the x-height of the parent    In cases that the parent -  vertical-center element in this case - has an explicit height  by any chance if we could have a child element having the exact same height of the parent  we would be able to move the baseline of the parent to the midpoint of the full-height child and surprisingly make our desired in-flow child - the  container - aligned to the center vertically   Getting all together  That being said  we could create a full-height element within the  vertical-center by   before or   after pseudo elements and also change the default display type of it and the other child  the   container to inline-block   Then use vertical-align  middle  to align the inline elements vertically   Here you go    lt div class  jumbotron vertical-center  gt     lt div class  container  gt             lt  div gt   lt  div gt     vertical-center     height 100     width 100      text-align  center      align the inline -block  elements horizontally      font  0 0 a             remove the gap between inline -block  elements        vertical-center before         create a full-height inline block pseudo element      content         display  inline-block    vertical-align  middle        vertical alignment of the inline element      height  100       vertical-center  gt   container     max-width  100      display  inline-block    vertical-align  middle      vertical alignment of the inline element                                  reset the font property      font  16px 1  Helvetica Neue   Helvetica  Arial  sans-serif      WORKING DEMO   Also  to prevent unexpected issues in extra small screens  you can reset the height of the  pseudo-element to auto or 0 or change its display type to none if needed so    media  max-width  768px       vertical-center before       height  auto         Or        display  none          UPDATED DEMO  And one more thing   If there are footer header sections around the container  it s better to position that elements properly  relative  absolute  up to you   and add a higher z-index value  for assurance  to keep them always on the top of the others

In Bootstrap 4   to center the child horizontally  use bootstrap-4 class   justify-content-center   to center the child vertically  use bootstrap-4 class    align-items-center   but remember don t forget to use d-flex class with these it s a bootstrap-4 utility class  like so   lt div class  d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center  style  height 100px   gt       lt span class  bg-primary  gt MIDDLE lt  span gt       lt  div gt    Note  make sure to add bootstrap-4 utilities if this code does not work  I know it s not the direct answer to this question but it may help someone
