Centering a div That Maintains Aspect-Ratio When There’s Body Margin

Publikováno: 18.2.2020

Andrew Welch had a little CSS challenge the other day to make an ordinary div:

• centered vertically + horizontally
• scales to fit the viewport w/ a margin around it
• maintains an arbitrary aspect ratio
• No JS

There's a video in that tweet if it helps you visualize the challenge. I saw Paul Bakaus blogging about this the other day, too, so it's a thing that comes up!

Andrew Welch had a little CSS challenge the other day to make an ordinary div:

• centered vertically + horizontally
• scales to fit the viewport w/ a margin around it
• maintains an arbitrary aspect ratio
• No JS

There's a video in that tweet if it helps you visualize the challenge. I saw Paul Bakaus blogging about this the other day, too, so it's a thing that comes up!

Mark Huot got fancy applying aspect ratios directly with width/height and creating the margins from subtracting from those dimensions:

Amelia Wattenberger's idea is to set both height/width and max-height/max-width with viewport units, and center it with the classic translate trick:

Eric A. Meyer did the same, only centered with flexbox instead.

Brian Hart used vmin units for the aspect ratio sizing and centered it with flexbox:

Benoît Rouleau did the same but used calc() for the margins in a different unit.

Andrew really likes Jonathan Melville's approach. Most of it is in Tailwind classes so it's a smidge hard for me to understand as I'm not used to looking at code like that yet.

Andrew said he ultimately went with the vmin thing — although I see he's using calc() to subtract vmin units from each other which isn't really necessary unless, I guess, you wanna see the math.
