Place your content within a flexbox container that is 100  high i e h-100  Then justify the content centrally by using justify-content-center class    lt section class  container h-100 d-flex justify-content-center  gt       lt div class  jumbotron my-auto  gt           lt h1 class  display-3  gt Hello  Malawi  lt  h1 gt       lt  div gt   lt  section gt

Vertical align Using this bootstrap 4 classes   parent  d-table AND child  d-table-cell  amp  align-middle  amp  text-center  eg   lt div class  quot tab-icon-holder d-table bg-light quot  gt      lt div class  quot d-table-cell align-middle text-center quot  gt        lt img src  quot assets images devices Xl png quot  height  quot 30rem quot  gt      lt  div gt   lt  div gt   and if you want parent be circle   lt div class  quot tab-icon-holder d-table bg-light rounded-circle quot  gt      lt div class  quot d-table-cell align-middle text-center quot  gt        lt img src  quot assets images devices Xl png quot  height  quot 30rem quot  gt      lt  div gt   lt  div gt   which two custom css classes are as follow   tab-icon-holder     width  3 5rem    height  3 5rem      rounded-circle     border-radius  50   important    Final usage can be like for example   lt div class  quot col-md-5 mx-auto text-center quot  gt       lt div class  quot d-flex justify-content-around quot  gt        lt div class  quot tab-icon-holder d-table bg-light rounded-circle quot  gt          lt div class  quot d-table-cell align-middle text-center quot  gt            lt img src  quot assets images devices Xl png quot  height  quot 30rem quot  gt          lt  div gt        lt  div gt         lt div class  quot tab-icon-holder d-table bg-light rounded-circle quot  gt          lt div class  quot d-table-cell align-middle text-center quot  gt            lt img src  quot assets images devices Lg png quot  height  quot 30rem quot  gt          lt  div gt        lt  div gt                  lt  div gt   lt  div gt   Also in some cases you can use following code   parent  h-100 d-table mx-auto AND child  d-table-cell  amp  align-middle

In Bootstrap 4  beta   use align-middle  Refer to Bootstrap 4 Documentation on Vertical alignment      Change the alignment of elements with the vertical-alignment   utilities  Please note that vertical-align only affects inline    inline-block  inline-table  and table cell elements       Choose from  align-baseline   align-top   align-middle   align-bottom     align-text-bottom  and  align-text-top as needed

use  my-auto  bootsrap4  css class on yor div

Because none of the above worked for me  I am adding another answer   Goal  To vertically and horizontally align a div on a page using bootstrap 4 flexbox classes   Step 1  Set your outermost div to a height of 100vh  This sets the height to 100  of the Veiwport Height  If you don t do this  nothing else will work   Setting it to a height of 100  is only relative to the parent  so if the parent is not the full height of the viewport  nothing will work   In the example below  I set the Body to 100vh   Step 2  Set the container div to be the flexbox container with the d-flex class   Step 3  Center div horizontally with the justify-content-center class   Step 4  Center div vertically with the align-items-center  Step 5  Run page  view your vertically and horizontally centered div   Note that there is no special class that needs to be set on the centered div itself  the child div    lt body style  background-color  f2f2f2  height 100vh   gt    lt div class  h-100 d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center  gt       lt div style  height 600px  background-color white  width 600px   gt   lt  div gt    lt  div gt    lt  body gt

Important  Vertical center is relative to the height of the parent  If the parent of the element you re trying to center has no defined height  none of the vertical centering solutions will work   Now  onto vertical centering    Bootstrap 5  Updated 2020  Bootstrap 5 is still flexbox based so vertical centering works the same way as Bootstrap 4  For example align-items-center and justify-content-center can used on the flexbox parent  row or d-flex   https   codeply com p 0VM5MJ7Had Bootstrap 4 You can use the new flexbox  amp  size utilities to make the container full-height and display  flex  These options don t require extra CSS  except that the height of the container  ie html body  must be 100    Option 1 align-self-center on flexbox child  lt div class  quot container d-flex h-100 quot  gt       lt div class  quot row justify-content-center align-self-center quot  gt       I m vertically centered      lt  div gt   lt  div gt   https   codeply com go fFqaDe5Oey Option 2 align-items-center on flexbox parent   row is display flex  flex-direction row   lt div class  quot container h-100 quot  gt       lt div class  quot row align-items-center h-100 quot  gt           lt div class  quot col-6 mx-auto quot  gt               lt div class  quot jumbotron quot  gt                  I m vertically centered              lt  div gt           lt  div gt       lt  div gt   lt  div gt    https   codeply com go BumdFnmLuk Option 3 justify-content-center on flexbox parent   card is display flex flex-direction column   lt div class  quot container h-100 quot  gt       lt div class  quot row align-items-center h-100 quot  gt           lt div class  quot col-6 mx-auto quot  gt               lt div class  quot card h-100 border-primary justify-content-center quot  gt                   lt div gt                         card content                     lt  div gt               lt  div gt           lt  div gt       lt  div gt   lt  div gt   https   codeply com go 3gySSEe7nd  More on Bootstrap 4 Vertical Centering Now that Bootstrap 4 offers flexbox and other utilities  there are many approaches to vertical alignment  http   www codeply com go WG15ZWC4lf 1 - Vertical Center Using Auto Margins  Another way to vertically center is to use my-auto  This will center the element within it s container  For example  h-100 makes the row full height  and my-auto will vertically center the col-sm-12 column   lt div class  quot row h-100 quot  gt       lt div class  quot col-sm-12 my-auto quot  gt           lt div class  quot card card-block w-25 quot  gt Card lt  div gt       lt  div gt   lt  div gt   Vertical Center Using Auto Margins Demo my-auto represents margins on the vertical y-axis and is equivalent to  margin-top  auto  margin-bottom  auto    2 - Vertical Center with Flexbox   Since Bootstrap 4  row is now display flex you can simply use align-self-center on any column to vertically center it            lt div class  quot row quot  gt              lt div class  quot col-6 align-self-center quot  gt                   lt div class  quot card card-block quot  gt                   Center                  lt  div gt              lt  div gt              lt div class  quot col-6 quot  gt                   lt div class  quot card card-inverse card-danger quot  gt                      Taller                  lt  div gt             lt  div gt       lt  div gt   or  use align-items-center on the entire  row to vertically center align all col-  in the row            lt div class  quot row align-items-center quot  gt              lt div class  quot col-6 quot  gt                   lt div class  quot card card-block quot  gt                   Center                  lt  div gt              lt  div gt              lt div class  quot col-6 quot  gt                   lt div class  quot card card-inverse card-danger quot  gt                      Taller                  lt  div gt             lt  div gt       lt  div gt   Vertical Center Different Height Columns Demo See this Q A to center  but maintain equal height  3 -
