Justify Content

Start

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

Center

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

<div class="flex justify-center bg-gray-200">
  <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 px-4 py-2 m-2">1</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 px-4 py-2 m-2">2</div>
</div>

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

<div class="flex justify-end bg-gray-200">
  <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 px-4 py-2 m-2">1</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 px-4 py-2 m-2">2</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 px-4 py-2 m-2">3</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:

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:

<div class="flex justify-around bg-gray-200">
  <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 px-4 py-2 m-2">1</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 px-4 py-2 m-2">3</div>
</div>

<div class="flex justify-evenly bg-gray-200">
  <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 px-4 py-2 m-2">1</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 px-4 py-2 m-2">2</div>
</div>

Responsive

To justify flex items at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}: prefix to any existing utility class. For example, use md:justify-between to apply the justify-between utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

Customizing

By default, only responsive variants are generated for justify-content utilities.

You can control which variants are generated for the justify-content utilities by modifying the justifyContent property in the variants section of your tailwind.config.js file.

For example, this config will also generate hover and focus variants:

  // tailwind.config.js
    variants: {
      // ...
-     justifyContent: ['responsive'],
+     justifyContent: ['responsive', 'hover', 'focus'],
    }
  }

Disabling

If you don’t plan to use the justify-content utilities in your project, you can disable them entirely by setting the justifyContent property to false in the corePlugins section of your config file:

  // tailwind.config.js
  module.exports = {
    corePlugins: {
      // ...
+     justifyContent: false,
  }
