Hi folks can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong. I have a an image with a max size specified, it is centered when it is on mobile and then when the window width exceeds the width of the image it moves to the left. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong please? I can’t work out how to centre it? Isn’t there a centre button? Thank you. The help tutorials to simply select centre but there doesn’t seem to be that option. Thanks.

Try adding a class of “mx-auto” to the classes at the bottom of the inspector:

See previous post. In the image properties, under Spacing, enable Margin & Padding and set left and right margin to auto
