How can I center a column in a Div or Container in Webflow?
TL;DR
- Use Flexbox on the parent container with Justify and Align set to Center.
- Set left and right margins to Auto on the column, or use a Grid layout with the column placed in the center grid cell.
To center a column in a Div or Container in Webflow, you need to adjust the parent element’s layout or the column's margin settings.
1. Use Flexbox on the Parent Div
- Select the parent Div or Container that holds the column (such as a Div Block).
- Go to the Style panel.
- Under Layout, set Display: Flex.
- Choose Justify: Center and Align: Center if you want to center both horizontally and vertically.
This centers any child element, such as a Column or Div, within the parent.
2. Use Auto Margin on the Column
- Select the column (or a Div Block you’re treating as a column).
- Go to the Style panel.
- In the Spacing section, set both Left and Right margins to Auto.
Make sure the parent has either:
- A fixed width, or
- A display setting that respects margin auto (e.g., Block display without Flex justification overrides).
3. Use Grid Layout
- Set the parent Div to Display: Grid.
- Add one row and three columns.
- Place the column you want to center in the middle grid column.
This gives you explicit control over layout positioning.
Summary
To center a column in a Div or Container in Webflow, either use Flexbox with justify and align center on the parent or apply auto margins on the column. Grid layout offers an additional method when more structured placement is needed.
