Let s say you want to put the image  40px X 40px  on the center  horizontal and vertical  of the div class  box   So you have the following html    lt div class  box  gt  lt img   gt  lt  div gt    What you have to do is apply the CSS    box img       position  absolute      top  50       margin-top  -20px      left  50       margin-left  -20px      Your div can even change it s size  the image will always be on the center of it

If you want content to be what ever you need to have inside a div  this did the job for me   lt div style  quot    display  table-cell    vertical-align  middle    background-color  blue    width     px    height     px   quot  gt       lt div style  quot        margin  auto        display  block        width  fit-content       quot  gt           lt  -- CONTENT -- gt           lt img src  quot     quot  gt           lt p gt  some text  lt  p gt       lt  div gt    lt  div gt

if your image is purely decorative  then it might be a more semantic solution to use it as a background-image  You can then specify the position of the background  background-position  center center    If it is not decorative and constitutes valuable information then the img tag is justified  What you need to do in such case is style the containing div with the following properties   div      display  table-cell  vertical-align  middle      Read more about this technique here  Reported to not work on IE6 7  works on IE8

There are five possible ways for centering an image with any size with pure CSS   Using flex and making the img tag be inside  best solution for modern browsers   div       display  flex      align-items  center      justify-content  center     Putting the image in background-image and using background-position  as  pixeline explained   div       background-image  url           background-position center center     Using display  table for parent element  and using display  table-cell with vertical-align  middle for child element  div parent       display  table    div child       display  table-cell      vertical-align  middle      Using position absolute with transform for the image and parent element position be not unset  div       position  relative    div  gt  img       position  absolute      left  50       top  50       transform  translate -50  -50        Using line-height as same height of the element  then using vertical-align  in my opinion  the best solution for supporting more browsers like IE9 gt    Note  In some old browsers  sometimes for using this way safely  you need to have at least one character in the line that the image exist  For fixing this issue  I used a non-breakable space in a pseudo-element of the parent  As in the following example   x000D   x000D  div       display  block      height  200px      width  200px      background-color  purple      line-height  200px      text-align  center    div after     content    a0     div  gt  img       vertical-align  middle    x000D   lt div gt  lt img src  https   via placeholder com 100 png 09f fff    gt  lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

The accepted answer did not work for me  vertical-align needs a partner so that they can be aligned at their centers  So I created an empty div with full height of the parent div but with no width for the image to align with  inline-block is needed for both objects to stay in one line    lt div gt       lt div class  placeholder  gt  lt  div gt       lt img   gt   lt  div gt    CSS    class       height  100       width  0       vertical-align  middle      display  inline-block   img       display  inline-block      vertical-align  middle

Another way is to set your line-height in the container div  and align your image to that using vertical-align  middle   html    lt div class  container  gt  lt img gt  lt  div gt    css    container     width  200px     or whatever you want      height  200px     or whatever you want      line-height  200px     or whatever you want  should match height      text-align  center      container  gt  img     vertical-align  middle      It s off the top of my head  But I ve used this before - it should do the trick  Works for older browsers as well

In your example  the div s height is static and the image s height is static   Give the image a margin-top value of   div height - image height     2  If the image is 50px  then   img       margin-top  25px
