How do I center my text in HTML?

The <center> tag was used in HTML4 to center-align text.


From headline' style remove height, justifyContent and alignItems. It will center the text vertically. Add textAlign: 'center' and it will center the text horizontally.

  headline: {
    textAlign: 'center', // <-- the magic
    fontWeight: 'bold',
    fontSize: 18,
    marginTop: 0,
    width: 200,
    backgroundColor: 'yellow',
  }

Already answered but I'd like to add a bit more on the topic and different ways to do it depending on your use case.

You can add adjustsFontSizeToFit={true} (currently undocumented) to Text Component to auto adjust the size inside a parent node.

  <Text adjustsFontSizeToFit={true} numberOfLines={1}>Hiiiz</Text>

You can also add the following in your Text Component:

<Text style={{textAlignVertical: "center",textAlign: "center",}}>Hiiiz</Text>

Or you can add the following into the parent of the Text component:

<View style={{flex:1,justifyContent: "center",alignItems: "center"}}>
     <Text>Hiiiz</Text>
</View>

or both

 <View style={{flex:1,justifyContent: "center",alignItems: "center"}}>
     <Text style={{textAlignVertical: "center",textAlign: "center",}}>Hiiiz</Text>
</View>

or all three

 <View style={{flex:1,justifyContent: "center",alignItems: "center"}}>
     <Text adjustsFontSizeToFit={true} 
           numberOfLines={1} 
           style={{textAlignVertical: "center",textAlign: "center",}}>Hiiiz</Text>
</View>

It all depends on what you're doing. You can also checkout my full blog post on the topic

textAlignVertical: "center"

is the real magic.


Set these styles to image component: { textAlignVertical: "center", textAlign: "center" }


this is a example for Horizontal and Vertical alignment simultaneously

<View style={{width: 200, flexDirection: 'row',alignItems: 'center'}}>
     <Text style={{width: '100%',textAlign: 'center'}} />
</View>
