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.
