How can I center text inside a block in Webflow? I find the tool difficult to understand and not intuitive.

TL;DR

Use Flexbox: Set the block’s Display to Flex, then Justify: Center and Align: Center to fully center text.
Use Text Alignment: Select the text element and set Text Align: Center in the Style Panel for simple horizontal centering.

Centering text inside a block in Webflow is easy once you understand how to use Flexbox or Text Alignment correctly. Below are two methods to achieve this.

1. Use Flexbox for Full Control

Select your block (Div, Section, or Container).
Go to the Style Panel (right sidebar).
Under Display, select Flex.
Set Justify to Center (horizontal alignment).
Set Align to Center (vertical alignment).
Now, any text inside this block will be fully centered.

2. Use Text Alignment for Simplicity

Select the text element (Heading, Paragraph, or Text Block).
Go to the Typography section in the Style Panel.
Click on Text Align: Center (icon with centered lines).
If needed, set the Parent Block’s Display to Block and adjust padding/margins for correct positioning.

Summary

For full control, use Flexbox to center both horizontally and vertically. If only horizontal centering is needed, simply use Text Align: Center in the Style Panel.
