How to Center an Image Using Text Align: Center

An element is an inline element (display value of inline-block). It can be easily centered by adding the text-align: center; CSS property to the parent element that contains it.

To center an image using text-align: center; you must place the inside of a block-level element such as a div. Since the text-align property only applies to block-level elements, you place text-align: center; on the wrapping block-level element to achieve a horizontally centered .

Note: The parent element must be a block element. If it is not a block element, you should add display: block; CSS property along with the text-align property.

Once your image is centered, you might want to resize it. The object-fit property specifies how an element responds to the width / height of it’s parent box.

This property can be used for image, video, or any other media. It can also be used with the object-position property to get more control on how the media is displayed.

Basically we use the object-fit property to define how it stretch or squish an inline media.

The object-fit is supported by most of the modern browsers, for the most updated info about compatibility you can check this out http://caniuse.com/#search=object-fit.
