The effect of this property is dependent of the layout mode we are in:
/* Basic keywords */
justify-items: normal;
justify-items: stretch;
/* Positional alignment */
justify-items: center; /* Pack items around the center */
justify-items: start; /* Pack items from the start */
justify-items: end; /* Pack items from the end */
justify-items: flex-start; /* Equivalent to 'start'. Note that justify-items is ignored in flexbox layouts. */
justify-items: flex-end; /* Equivalent to 'end'. Note that justify-items is ignored in flexbox layouts. */
justify-items: self-start;
justify-items: self-end;
justify-items: left; /* Pack items from the left */
justify-items: right; /* Pack items from the right */
justify-items: anchor-center;
/* Baseline alignment */
justify-items: baseline;
justify-items: first baseline;
justify-items: last baseline;
/* Overflow alignment (for positional alignment only) */
justify-items: safe center;
justify-items: unsafe center;
/* Legacy alignment */
justify-items: legacy right;

justify-items: legacy center;
/* Global values */

This property can take one of four different forms:
normal
or stretch
.baseline
keyword, plus optionally one of first
or last
.center
, start
, end
, flex-start
, flex-end
, self-start
, self-end
, left
, or right
. Plus optionally safe
or unsafe
.legacy
keyword, followed by one of left
or right
.normal
The effect of this keyword is dependent of the layout mode we are in:
start
.start
on replaced absolutely-positioned boxes, and as stretch
on all other absolutely-positioned boxes.stretch
, except for boxes with an aspect ratio or an intrinsic size where it behaves like start
.start
The item is packed flush to each other toward the start edge of the alignment container in the appropriate axis.
end
The item is packed flush to each other toward the end edge of the alignment container in the appropriate axis.
flex-start
For items that are not children of a flex container, this value is treated like start
.
flex-end
For items that are not children of a flex container, this value is treated like end
.
self-start
The item is packed flush to the edge of the alignment container of the start side of the item, in the appropriate axis.
self-end
The item is packed flush to the edge of the alignment container of the end side of the item, in the appropriate axis.
center
The items are packed flush to each other toward the center of the alignment container.
left
The items are packed flush to each other toward the left edge of the alignment container. If the property's axis is not parallel with the inline axis, this value behaves like start
.
right
The items are packed flush to each other toward the right edge of the alignment container in the appropriate axis. If the property's axis is not parallel with the inline axis, this value behaves like start
.
baseline
, first baseline
, last baseline
Specifies participation in first- or last-baseline alignment: aligns the alignment baseline of the box's first or last baseline set with the corresponding baseline in the shared first or last baseline set of all the boxes in its baseline-sharing group. The fallback alignment for first baseline
is start
, the one for last baseline
is end
.
stretch
If the combined size of the items is less than the size of the alignment container, any auto
-sized items have their size increased equally (not proportionally), while still respecting the constraints imposed by max-height
/max-width
(or equivalent functionality), so that the combined size exactly fills the alignment container.
anchor-center
In the case of anchor-positioned elements, aligns the items to the center of the associated anchor element in the inline direction. See Centering on the anchor using anchor-center
.
safe
If the size of the item overflows the alignment container, the item is instead aligned as if the alignment mode were start
.
unsafe
Regardless of the relative sizes of the item and alignment container, the given alignment value is honored.
legacy
Makes the value inherited by the box descendants. Note that if a descendant has a justify-self: auto
value, the legacy
keyword is not considered by the descend, only the left
, right
, or center
value associated to it.

In this example, we have a 2 x 2 grid layout. Initially the grid container is given a justify-items
value of stretch
(the default), which causes the grid items to stretch across the entire width of their cells.
If you hover or tab onto the grid container however, it is given a justify-items
value of center
, which causes the grid items to span only as wide as their content width, and align in the center of their cells.
