Use the CSS vertical-align Property

You can align an image vertically center inside a <div> by using the CSS vertical-align property in combination with the display: table-cell; on the containing div element.

Additionally, since CSS margin property is not applicable to display: table-cell; elements, so we've wrapped the containing DIV with another DIV (.outer-wrapper) and applied margin on it. This solution will work even for images with greater height than containing DIV.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Vertically Center the IMG in a DIV with CSS</title>
<style>
    .outer-wrapper{
        display: inline-block; 
        margin: 20px;
    }
    .frame{  
        width: 250px;
        height: 200px;
        border: 1px solid black;
        vertical-align: middle;
        text-align: center;
        display: table-cell;
    }    
    img{
        max-width: 100%;
        max-height: 100%;
        display: block;
        margin: 0 auto;
    }
</style>
</head>
<body>
    <!-- Alignment of undersized image -->
    <div class="outer-wrapper">
        <div class="frame">
            <img src="/examples/images/club.jpg" alt="Club Card">
        </div>
    </div>
    <br>
    <!-- Alignment of vertically oversized image -->
    <div class="outer-wrapper">
        <div class="frame">
            <img src="/examples/images/kites.jpg" alt="Flying Kites">
        </div>
    </div>
    <br>
    <!-- Alignment of horizontally oversized image -->
    <div class="outer-wrapper">
        <div class="frame">
            <img src="/examples/images/sky.jpg" alt="Cloudy Sky">
        </div>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

You can also use the CSS positioning method to vertically align an image inside a DIV.

Let's take a look at an example to understand how it basically works:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Vertically Align an Image inside a DIV using CSS</title>
<style>
    .frame{  
        width: 250px;
        height: 200px;
        margin: 20px;
        border: 1px solid black;
        position: relative;
    }    
    img{  
        max-height: 100%;  
        max-width: 100%; 
        position: absolute;  
        top: 0;  
        bottom: 0;  
        left: 0;  
        right: 0;  
        margin: auto;
    }
</style>
</head>
<body>
    <!-- Alignment of undersized image -->
    <div class="frame">
        <img src="/examples/images/club.jpg" alt="Club Card">
    </div>
    <br>
    <!-- Alignment of vertically oversized image -->
    <div class="frame">
        <img src="/examples/images/kites.jpg" alt="Flying Kites">
    </div>
    <br>
    <!-- Alignment of horizontally oversized image -->
    <div class="frame">
        <img src="/examples/images/sky.jpg" alt="Cloudy Sky">
    </div>
</body>
</html>
