How to Change Text Alignment on Any Website
Learn how to change text alignment on any website using Helperbird. Choose between left, center, right, or justified text to find what works best for you.
What is Text Alignment?
Text alignment controls how text is positioned horizontally on the page. You can align text to the left edge, center it, align it to the right edge, or justify it so both edges are even.
Different alignment styles can make reading easier depending on your preferences and the type of content you are reading.
Who is This For?
This feature is helpful for:
- People who find left-aligned text easier to track
- Anyone who prefers a specific text layout
- People with dyslexia who may find certain alignments easier to read
- Students who want consistent formatting across different websites
- Anyone who finds justified text creates uneven spacing that is hard to read

Alignment Options
Helperbird offers four text alignment options:
Left – Text aligns to the left edge. This is the most common and often easiest to read because your eye always returns to the same starting point.
Center – Text is centered in the middle. This works well for headings or short text but can be harder to read for long paragraphs.
Right – Text aligns to the right edge. This is less common for reading but can be useful for certain layouts.
Justify – Text stretches to align with both the left and right edges. This creates clean margins but can cause uneven spacing between words that some people find distracting.
Tip: Most people find left-aligned text easiest to read because each line starts at the same place. If you have dyslexia, avoid justified text as the uneven word spacing can make reading harder.
