You have to use style  width value  with center block class

You can use class  center-block in combination with style  width 400px max-width 100    to preserve responsiveness   Using  col-md-  class with  center-block will not work because of the float on  col-md-

center-block is bad idea as it covers a portion on your screen and you cannot click on your fields or buttons  col-md-offset-  is better option   Use col-md-offset-3  is better option if class is col-sm-6  Just change the number to center your block

A few answers here seem incomplete  Here are several variations    lt style gt   box       height  200px      width  200px      border  4px solid gray     lt  style gt        lt  -- This works   container gt  row gt  center-block box -- gt   lt div class  container  gt           lt div class  row  gt               lt div class  center-block bg-primary box  gt This div is centered with  center-block lt  div gt           lt  div gt       lt  div gt    lt  -- This does not work -- gt       lt div class  container  gt           lt div class  row  gt               lt div class  center-block bg-primary box col-xs-4  gt This div is centered with  center-block lt  div gt           lt  div gt       lt  div gt    lt  -- This is the hybrid solution from other answers        container gt  row gt  col-xs-6 gt  center-block box  -- gt      lt div class  container  gt           lt div class  row  gt               lt div class  col-xs-6 bg-info  gt                   lt div class  center-block bg-primary box  gt This div is centered with  center-block lt  div gt               lt  div gt           lt  div gt       lt  div gt    To make it work with col-  classes  you need to wrap the  center-block inside a  col-  class  but remember to either add another class that sets the width   box in this case   or to alter the  center-block itself by giving it a width   Check it out on bootply
