How can I center an image in a column in Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Use Flexbox on the column: set display to Flex, flex direction to vertical or horizontal, and align both justify and align to Center.
  • Alternatively, set the image's left and right margins to Auto for horizontal centering if the column uses Block display.

To center an image inside a column in Webflow, you need to adjust the alignment using layout settings or style properties.

1. Select the Image Element

  • Click the image you want to center.
  • Ensure it's located inside a column within a Columns element.

2. Use Flexbox (Preferred for Reliable Centering)

  • Select the column parent element (not the image itself).
  • In the Style panel, go to the Layout section.
  • Change the display from Block to Flex.
  • Set Flex direction to Vertical or Horizontal, depending on the desired flow.
  • Set Justify to Center (horizontal alignment).
  • Set Align to Center (vertical alignment if needed).
This ensures the image is centered both horizontally and vertically within the column.

3. Alternative: Use Auto Margin

  • Select the image element.
  • In the Style panel under Spacing, set the left and right margins to Auto.
  • Make sure the column has Display: Block (default).
  • This will center the image horizontally.

4. Check Column Width

  • Ensure the column has sufficient width (e.g., not set to 0% or overridden with styles).
  • If the column has custom styles, it may override your image alignment.

Summary

To center an image in a column, use Flexbox on the column for full control over alignment, or apply auto left/right margin to the image. Flexbox is more reliable, especially for vertical centering.
