Justify Content – Tailwind CSS

Utilities for controlling how flex and grid items are positioned along a container’s main axis.

Basic usage

Use justify-start to justify items against the start of the container’s main axis:

01

02

03

<

div

class

=

"

flex

justify-start

...

"

>

<

div

>

01

</

div

>

<

div

>

02

</

div

>

<

div

>

03

</

div

>

</

div

>

Use justify-center to justify items along the center of the container’s main axis:

01

02

03

<

div

class

=

"

flex

justify-center

...

"

>

<

div

>

01

</

div

>

<

div

>

02

</

div

>

<

div

>

03

</

div

>

</

div

>

Use justify-end to justify items against the end of the container’s main axis:

01

02

03

<

div

class

=

"

flex

justify-end

...

"

>

<

div

>

01

</

div

>

<

div

>

02

</

div

>

<

div

>

03

</

div

>

</

div

>

Space between

Use justify-between to justify items along the container’s main axis such that there is an equal amount of space between each item:

01

02

03

<

div

class

=

"

flex

justify-between

...

"

>

<

div

>

01

</

div

>

<

div

>

02

</

div

>

<

div

>

03

</

div

>

</

div

>

Space around

Use justify-around to justify items along the container’s main axis such that there is an equal amount of space on each side of each item:

01

02

03

<

div

class

=

"

flex

justify-around

...

"

>

<

div

>

01

</

div

>

<

div

>

02

</

div

>

<

div

>

03

</

div

>

</

div

>

Space evenly

Use justify-evenly to justify items along the container’s main axis such that there is an equal amount of space around each item, but also accounting for the doubling of space you would normally see between each item when using justify-around:

01

02

03

<

div

class

=

"

flex

justify-evenly

...

"

>

<

div

>

01

</

div

>

<

div

>

02

</

div

>

<

div

>

03

</

div

>

</

div

>

Applying conditionally

Hover, focus, and other states

Tailwind lets you conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers. For example, use hover : justify-between to only apply the justify-between utility on hover .

<

div

class

=

"

flex justify-start

hover:justify-between

"

>

</

div

>

For a complete list of all available state modifiers, check out the Hover, Focus, & Other States documentation.

Breakpoints and media queries

You can also use variant modifiers to target media queries like responsive breakpoints, dark mode, prefers-reduced-motion, and more. For example, use md: justify-between to apply the justify-between utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

<

div

class

=

"

flex justify-start

md:justify-between

"

>

</

div

>
