HTML image bottom alignment inside DIV container

Question

I have a div tag with a fixed height. Most of the images have the same height and width.

I want to align the images at the bottom of the div so that they are nicely

Answer 1

<div> with some proportions

div {
  position: relative;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
}

<img>'s with their own proportions

img {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  right: 0;
  width: auto; /* to keep proportions */
  height: auto; /* to keep proportions */
  max-width: 100%; /* not to stand out from div */
  max-height: 100%; /* not to stand out from div */
  margin: auto auto 0; /* position to bottom and center */
}

This is your code: http://jsfiddle.net/WSFnX/

Using display: table-cell is fine, provided that you're aware that it won't work in IE6/7. Other than that, it's safe: Is there a disadvantage of using `display:table-cell`on divs?

To fix the space at the bottom, add vertical-align: bottom to the actual imgs:

Removing the space between the images boils down to this: bikeshedding CSS3 property alternative?

So, here's a demo with the whitespace removed in your HTML: http://jsfiddle.net/WSFnX/4/

Answer 3

Flexboxes can accomplish this by using align-items: flex-end; with display: flex; or display: inline-flex;

div#imageContainer {
    height: 160px;  
    align-items: flex-end;
    display: flex;

    /* This is the default value, so you only need to explicitly set it if it's already being set to something else elsewhere. */
    /*flex-direction: row;*/
}

Answer 4

Set the parent div as position:relative and the inner element to position:absolute; bottom:0
