How do I center a Bootstrap modal both vertically and horizontally on the page?
Asked on Oct 15, 2025
Answer
To center a Bootstrap modal both vertically and horizontally, you can use the `modal-dialog-centered` class. This class ensures that the modal is perfectly centered on the page.
<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
<div class="modal fade" id="exampleModal" tabindex="-1" aria-labelledby="exampleModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<h5 class="modal-title" id="exampleModalLabel">Centered Modal</h5>
<button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"></button>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
This is a vertically and horizontally centered modal.
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-bs-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- END COPY / PASTE -->Additional Comment:
