How can I align to center my button in CSS? - css

Question

I have the following button in CSS, and I can't align it to center:
.btn {
background-color: #44c767;
-moz-border-radius: 28px;
-webkit-border-radius: 28px;
border-radius: 28px;
border: 1px solid #18ab29;
display: inline-block;
cursor: pointer;
color: #ffffff;
font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif;
font-size: 17px;
padding: 16px 64px;
text-decoration: none;
text-shadow: 0px 1px 0px #2f6627;
}
And when it goes to center, I want it to go a little bit lower(bottom).

Centering the button???
1. Horizontally center the button inside a parent?
You can use display: flex; justify-content: center on parent element.
.parent{
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}
.btn {
background-color: #44c767;
-moz-border-radius: 28px;
-webkit-border-radius: 28px;
border-radius: 28px;
border: 1px solid #18ab29;
display: inline-block;
cursor: pointer;
color: #ffffff;
font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif;
font-size: 17px;
padding: 16px 64px;
text-decoration: none;
text-shadow: 0px 1px 0px #2f6627;
}
<div class="parent">
<button class="btn">Button</button>
</div>
OR You can also use text-align: center on parent element.
.parent{
text-align: center;
}
.btn {
background-color: #44c767;
-moz-border-radius: 28px;
-webkit-border-radius: 28px;
border-radius: 28px;
border: 1px solid #18ab29;
display: inline-block;
cursor: pointer;
color: #ffffff;
font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif;
font-size: 17px;
padding: 16px 64px;
text-decoration: none;
text-shadow: 0px 1px 0px #2f6627;
}
<div class="parent">
<button class="btn">Button</button>
</div>
2. Vertically center the button inside a parent?
You can use display: flex; align-items: center on parent element.
.parent{
height: 100vh;
background: #f00;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
.btn {
background-color: #44c767;
-moz-border-radius: 28px;
-webkit-border-radius: 28px;
border-radius: 28px;
border: 1px solid #18ab29;
display: inline-block;
cursor: pointer;
color: #ffffff;
font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif;
font-size: 17px;
padding: 16px 64px;
text-decoration: none;
text-shadow: 0px 1px 0px #2f6627;
}
<div class="parent">
<button class="btn">Button</button>
</div>
3. Horizontally and Vertically center the button inside a parent?
You can use display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center on parent element.
.parent{
height: 100vh;
background: #f00;
align-items: center;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}
.btn {
background-color: #44c767;
-moz-border-radius: 28px;
-webkit-border-radius: 28px;
border-radius: 28px;
border: 1px solid #18ab29;
display: inline-block;
cursor: pointer;
color: #ffffff;
font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif;
font-size: 17px;
padding: 16px 64px;
text-decoration: none;
text-shadow: 0px 1px 0px #2f6627;
}
<div class="parent">
<button class="btn">Button</button>
</div>
=> Move the button a little-bit-lower inside a parent as well as keeping it slightly centered?
You can use margin-top: 5vh; on button.
.parent{
height: 100vh;
background: #f00;
align-items: center;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}
.btn {
margin-top: 50vh;
background-color: #44c767;
-moz-border-radius: 28px;
-webkit-border-radius: 28px;
border-radius: 28px;
border: 1px solid #18ab29;
display: inline-block;
cursor: pointer;
color: #ffffff;
font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif;
font-size: 17px;
padding: 16px 64px;
text-decoration: none;
text-shadow: 0px 1px 0px #2f6627;
}
<div class="parent">
<button class="btn">Button</button>
</div>
