Justify Content

Start

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

<div class="flex justify-start 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>

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

End

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:

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

<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 class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 px-4 py-2 m-2">3</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.

For more information about Tailwind's responsive design features, check out the Responsive Design documentation.

<div class="justify-start sm:justify-center md:justify-end lg:justify-between xl:justify-around ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Customizing

Responsive and pseudo-class variants

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
  module.exports = {
    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,
    }
  }
