### Flexbox
Using flexbox to vertically and horizontally center content is usually the preferred method. All it takes is three lines of code in the container element to set `display: flex` and then center the child element vertically and horizontally using `align-items: center` and `justify-content: center` respectively. You can view the [Flexbox centering snippet](/css/s/flexbox-centering) for the code and examples.

### Table
Last but not least, table centering is an older technique which you might favor when working with older browsers. It depends on the use of `display: table` in the container element. This allows the child element to use `display: table-cell` in combination with `text-align: center` and `vertical-align: middle` to center itself horizontally and vertically. You can view the [Display table centering snippet](/css/s/display-table-centering) for the code and examples.
