Examples

Start

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

<!-- [!code classes:justify-start] -->
<div class="flex justify-start ...">
  <div>01</div>
  <div>02</div>
  <div>03</div>
</div>

Center

Use the justify-center or justify-center-safe utilities to justify items along the center of the container's main axis:

<!-- [!code filename:justify-center] -->
<!-- [!code classes:justify-center] -->
<div class="flex justify-center ...">
  <div>01</div>
  <div>02</div>
  <div>03</div>
  <div>04</div>
</div>

<!-- [!code filename:justify-center-safe] -->
<!-- [!code classes:justify-center-safe] -->
<div class="flex justify-center-safe ...">
  <div>01</div>
  <div>02</div>
  <div>03</div>
  <div>04</div>
</div>

When there is not enough space available, the justify-center-safe utility will align items to the start of the container instead of the center.

End

Use the justify-end or justify-end-safe utilities to justify items against the end of the container's main axis:

<!-- [!code filename:justify-end] -->
<!-- [!code classes:justify-end] -->
<div class="flex justify-end ...">
  <div>01</div>
  <div>02</div>
  <div>03</div>
  <div>03</div>
</div>

<!-- [!code filename:justify-end-safe] -->
<!-- [!code classes:justify-end-safe] -->
<div class="flex justify-end-safe ...">
  <div>01</div>
  <div>02</div>
  <div>03</div>
  <div>03</div>
</div>

When there is not enough space available, the justify-end-safe utility will align items to the start of the container instead of the end.

Space between

Use the justify-between utility to justify items along the container's main axis such that there is an equal amount of space between each item:

<!-- [!code classes:justify-between] -->
<div class="flex justify-between ...">
  <div>01</div>
  <div>02</div>
  <div>03</div>
</div>

Space around

Use the justify-around utility to justify items along the container's main axis such that there is an equal amount of space on each side of each item:

<!-- [!code classes:justify-around] -->
<div class="flex justify-around ...">
  <div>01</div>
  <div>02</div>
  <div>03</div>
</div>

Space evenly

Use the justify-evenly utility 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:

<!-- [!code classes:justify-evenly] -->
<div class="flex justify-evenly ...">
  <div>01</div>
  <div>02</div>
  <div>03</div>
</div>

Stretch

Use the justify-stretch utility to allow auto-sized content items to fill the available space along the container's main axis:

<!-- [!code classes:justify-stretch] -->
<div class="grid grid-cols-[4rem_auto_4rem] justify-stretch ...">
  <div>01</div>
  <div>02</div>
  <div>03</div>
</div>

Normal

Use the justify-normal utility to pack content items in their default position as if no justify-content value was set:

<!-- [!code classes:justify-normal] -->
<div class="flex justify-normal ...">
  <div>01</div>
  <div>02</div>
  <div>03</div>
</div>

Responsive design

Prefix a justify-content utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<div class="flex justify-start md:justify-between ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>
