Center image horizontally within a div

Question

This is probably a stupid question but since the usual ways of center aligning an image are not working I thought I would ask  How can I center align  horizontally  an image inside its container div   Here s the HTML and CSS  I ve also included the CSS for the other elements of the thumbnail  It runs in descending order so the highest element is the container of everything and the lowest is inside everything    x000D   x000D   thumbnailwrapper   x000D        color   2A2A2A  x000D        margin-right  5px  x000D        border-radius  0 2em  x000D        margin-bottom  5px  x000D        background-color   E9F7FE  x000D        padding  5px  x000D        border  thin solid  DADADA  x000D        font-size  15px x000D    x000D       x000D   artiststhumbnail   x000D        width  120px  x000D        height  108px  x000D        overflow  hidden  x000D        border  thin solid  DADADA  x000D        background-color  white  x000D    x000D       x000D   artiststhumbnail hover   x000D        left  50px x000D    x000D   lt  --link here-- gt  x000D   x000D   lt a href  NotByDesign  gt  x000D     lt div id  thumbnailwrapper  gt  x000D   x000D       lt a href  NotByDesign  gt  x000D   x000D         lt  --name here-- gt  x000D         lt b gt Not By Design lt  b gt  x000D         lt br gt  x000D   x000D         lt div id  artiststhumbnail  gt  x000D   x000D           lt a href  NotByDesign  gt  x000D   x000D             lt  --image here-- gt  x000D             lt img src     files noprofile jpg  height  100   alt  Not By Design  border  1    gt  x000D           lt  a gt  x000D         lt  div gt  x000D   x000D         lt div id  genre  gt Punk lt  div gt  x000D   x000D     lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    Okay  I have added the markup without the PHP in so should be easier to see  Neither solution seems to work in practice  The text at top and bottom cannot be centered and the image should be centered within its container div  The container has overflow hidden so I want to see the center of the image as that s normally where the focus is

Put the picture inside a newDiv   Make the width of the containing div the same as the image  Apply margin  0 auto  to the newDiv   That should center the div within the container

If you have to do this inline  such as when using an input box   here is a quick hack that worked for me   surround your  image link in this case  in a div with style  text-align center    lt div style  text-align center  gt    lt a title  Example Image  Google Logo  href  https   www google com    target   blank  rel  noopener  gt  lt img src  https   www google com images branding googlelogo 2x googlelogo color 272x92dp png  alt  Google Logo  Click to visit Google com  border  0  data-recalc-dims  1    gt  lt  a gt    lt h6 gt  lt strong gt This text will also be centered   lt  strong gt  lt  h6 gt    lt  div gt     ends centering style

I am going to go out on a limb and say that the following is what you are after    Note  the following I believe was accidentally omitted in the question  see comment     lt div id  thumbnailwrapper  gt   lt  --  lt  lt  lt  This opening element -- gt       lt div id  artiststhumbnail  gt        So what you need is    artiststhumbnail       width 120px      height 108px      margin  0 auto      lt  lt  lt  This line here                 http   jsfiddle net userdude XStjX 3

Use positioning  The following worked for me     Horizontally and Vertically Centered   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

The best thing I have found  that seems to work in all browsers  for centering an image  or any element  horizontally is to create a CSS class and include the following parameters   CSS   center       position  relative              where the next element will be automatically positioned        display  inline-block           causes element width to shrink to fit content        left  50                        moves left side of image element to center of parent element        transform  translate -50        centers image element on  left  50   position        You can then apply the CSS class you created to your tag as follows   HTML   lt img class  center  src  image jpg    gt    You can also inline the CSS in your element s  by doing the following    lt img style  position  relative  display  inline-block  left  50   transform  translate -50     src   image jpg    gt       but I wouldn t recommend writing CSS inline because then you have to make multiple changes in all your tags using your centering CSS code if you ever want to change the style
