Try it Yourself »

More "Try it Yourself" examples below.


Definition and Usage

The align-self property specifies the alignment in the block direction for the selected item inside a flexbox or grid container.

For pages in English, block direction is downward and inline direction is left to right.

Tip: To align a grid item in the inline direction instead of the block direction, use justify-self or justify-items properties.

Note: The align-self property overrides the grid or flexible container's align-items property.
