Auto

Use justify-items-auto to justify grid items automatically on their inline axis:

<div class="grid grid-cols-3 gap-4 justify-items-auto h-48">
  <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">1</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">2</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">3</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">4</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">5</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">6</div>
</div>

Start

Use justify-items-start to justify grid items against the start of their inline axis:

<div class="grid grid-cols-3 gap-4 justify-items-start h-48">
  <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">1</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">2</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">3</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">4</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">5</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">6</div>
</div>

End

Use justify-items-end to justify grid items against the end of their inline axis:

<div class="grid grid-cols-3 gap-4 justify-items-end h-48">
    <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">1</div>
    <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">2</div>
    <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">3</div>
    <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">4</div>
    <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">5</div>
    <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">6</div>
  </div>

Center

Use justify-items-center to justify grid items along their inline axis:

<div class="grid grid-cols-3 gap-4 justify-items-center h-48">
  <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">1</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">2</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">3</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">4</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">5</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">6</div>
</div>

Stretch

Use justify-items-stretch to stretch items along their inline axis:

<div class="grid grid-cols-3 gap-4 justify-items-stretch h-48">
  <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">1</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">2</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">3</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">4</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">5</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">6</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-items-center to apply the justify-items-center utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

<div class="justify-items-start md:justify-items-center">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Customizing

Responsive and pseudo-class variants

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

You can control which variants are generated for the justify-items utilities by modifying the justifyItems 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: {
      // ...
-     justifyItems: ['responsive'],
+     justifyItems: ['responsive', 'hover', 'focus'],
    }
  }

Disabling

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

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