I'm trying to have a center text over image. I've used mx-auto to Horizontal centering my overlay text and use align-middle for a Vertical alignment. But the vertical alignment didn't work. Does somebody know why ?

<div class="mx-auto">

<p class="card-text align-middle">Tired of their servitude to man, a group of farm animals revolt and establish their own society...</p>

One way to vertically center is to use my-auto . This will center the element within it's flexbox container (The Bootstrap 4 . row is display:flex ). For example, h-100 makes the row full height, and my-auto will vertically center the col-sm-12 column.
Answer: Use the align-items-center Class In Bootstrap 4, if you want to vertically align a <div> element in the center or middle, you can simply apply the class align-items-center on the containing element.
In Bootstrap 5, if we want to vertically align an <div> element in the middle of a containing element, we can do this by applying the class align-items-center and d-flex on the containing element of that div. Here, the d-flex class has the same effect as that of the display: flex; property in CSS. Example: HTML.
Aligning content to the center of the DIV is very simple in Bootstrap 5, You just have to convert the div into a flex box using d-flex class property and then use the property align-items-center to vertically align the content in the middle of the div.
Just use my-auto
for vertical center...
