Adding images into our websites is a common practice, and there are situations where text must be vertically aligned alongside an image. For example, a user’s name should appear immediately next to their profile picture, vertically aligned for optimal readability . In this article, we will see how to align text next to an image using various methods.

Adding images into our websites is a common practice, and there are situations where text must be vertically aligned alongside an image. For example, a user’s name should appear immediately next to their profile picture, vertically aligned for optimal readability.

Approaches Vertically Align Text Next to an Image:

Two effective methods can be used to vertically align text next to an image are:

  1. Using flexbox
  2. Using vertical-align CSS property

1. Using flexbox:

In this approach, we will use flexbox. For this, we will use CSS display property combined with align-items property. We need to create a parent element that contain both image and text. After declaring the parent element as flexbox using display: flex; we can align the items to the center using align-items: center;.


Syntax: 

.class_name {      display: flex;     align-items:center; }


Example: This example uses flexbox to vertically align text next to an image using CSS.
 

html 
<!DOCTYPE html> <html>   <head>     <title>         How to Vertically Align Text         Next to an Image using CSS ?     </title>          <style>         .aligned {             display: flex;             align-items: center;         }                   span {             padding: 10px;         }     </style> </head>   <body>     <div class="aligned">         <img src= "https://media.geeksforgeeks.org/wp-content/uploads/20200327230544/g4gicon.png"             width="50" alt="">                      <span>GeeksforGeeks</span>     </div> </body>  </html>

Output: 
 


2. Using vertical-align CSS property:

In this approach, we don't need to wrap our element in a parent element and use vertical-align property to vertically align elements directly.


Syntax: 

.class_name { vertical-align: middle; }


Example: This example uses vertical-align property to vertically align text next to an image using CSS.
 

html 
<!DOCTYPE html> <html>   <head>     <title>         How to Vertically Align Text         Next to an Image using CSS ?     </title>          <style>         img {             vertical-align: middle;         }     </style> </head>   <body>     <img src= "https://media.geeksforgeeks.org/wp-content/uploads/20200327230544/g4gicon.png"             width="50" alt="">                  <span>         GeeksforGeeks (using vertical-align)     </span> </body>   </html>

Output:
