How can I center an image in Bootstrap

Question

I am struggling to center an image using only Bootstrap's CSS-classes. I already tried several things. One was adding Bootstrap CSS-class mx-auto to the img element, but it does nothing.

Help is appreciated.

<div class="container">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-4 mx-auto">
            <img class=""...> <!-- center this image within the column -->

            <form...>

            <p...>
            <p...>
            <p...>                
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Since the img is an inline element  Just use text-center on it s container  Using mx-auto will center the container  column  too    lt div class  row  gt       lt div class  col-4 mx-auto text-center  gt           lt img src      gt       lt  div gt   lt  div gt    By default  images are display inline  If you only want the center the image  and not the other column content   make the image display block using the d-block class  and then mx-auto will work    lt div class  row  gt     lt div class  col-4  gt       lt img class  mx-auto d-block  src      gt     lt  div gt   lt  div gt    Demo  http   codeply com go iakGGLdB8s

Image by default is displayed as inline-block  you need to display it as block in order to center it with  mx-auto  This can be done with built-in  d-block    lt div class  container  gt       lt div class  row  gt           lt div class  col-4  gt               lt img class  mx-auto d-block  src       gt             lt  div gt       lt  div gt   lt  div gt    Or leave it as inline-block and wrapped it in a div with  text-center    lt div class  container  gt       lt div class  row  gt           lt div class  col-4  gt             lt div class  text-center  gt               lt img src       gt              lt  div gt                lt  div gt       lt  div gt   lt  div gt    I made a fiddle showing both ways   They are documented here as well
