There are a number of different alignment methods that can be used. One example is flexbox:

<div class="container">
  <div class="center"></div>
</div>

.container {
  height: 100vh;
  display: flex;
}
.center { 
  background: blue; 
  height: 200px;
  width: 200px;
  margin: auto;
}

If you are having trouble with a specific method, be sure to show your code and perhaps someone can point out a solution.
