Center an Image Using Text Align Center
An <img> element is an inline element (display value of inline-block). It can be easily centered by adding the text-align: center; CSS property to the parent element
that contains it.
To center an image using text-align: center; you must place the <img> inside of a block-level element such as a div.
Since the text-align property only applies to block-level elements, you place text-align: center; on the wrapping block-level element to achieve a horizontally centered <img>.
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Center an Image using text align center</title>
<style>
.img-container {
text-align: center;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="img-container"> <!-- Block parent element -->
<img src="user.png" alt="John Doe">
</div>
</body>
</html>
Note: The parent element must be a block element. If it is not a block element, you should add display: block; CSS property along with the text-align property.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Center an Image using text align center</title>
<style>
.img-container {
text-align: center;
display: block;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<span class="img-container"> <!-- Inline parent element -->
<img src="user.png" alt="">
</span>
</body>
</html>
