You can just remove transform: translate(-50%, -50%); on .category-overlay:






.category-box {
padding: 15px 0;
position: relative;
}

.category-img {
overflow: hidden;
}

.category-img img {
width: 100%;
object-fit: cover;
object-position: center;
-webkit-transition: ease 0.4s all;
-moz-transition: ease 0.4s all;
-ms-transition: ease 0.4s all;
transition: ease 0.4s all;
}

.category-big-box .category-img img {
height: 500px;
}

.category-content {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
-webkit-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
-moz-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
-ms-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
background-color: #000000;
color: white;
padding: 25px;
text-align: center;
min-width: 260px;
min-height: 125px;
display: -webkit-flex;
display: -ms-flexbox;
display: flex;
-webkit-flex-direction: column;
-ms-flex-direction: column;
flex-direction: column;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
z-index: 1;
}

.category-overlay {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
height: 0;
width: 0;
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.45);
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
/*-webkit-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
-moz-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
-ms-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);*/
-webkit-transition: ease 0.4s all;
-moz-transition: ease 0.4s all;
-ms-transition: ease 0.4s all;
transition: ease 0.4s all;
}

.category-big-box:hover .category-overlay {
top: 15px;
transform: none;
left: 0;
}

.category-box:hover .category-overlay {
height: calc(100% - 30px);
width: 100%;
}

.category-box:hover .category-img img {
-webkit-transform: scale(1.2);
-moz-transform: scale(1.2);
-ms-transform: scale(1.2);
transform: scale(1.2);
}

<div class="category-box category-big-box">
<div class="category-img">
<img src="https://timeless-dubai.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/i3.jpg" alt="Category Image">
</div>
<div class="category-content">
some content
</div>
<div class="category-overlay"></div>
</div>





If you want to be 100% sure that an absolute positioned element is centered, you can use these properties:



/* Center horizontally */
right: 0;
left: 0;
margin: auto;

/* Center vertically */
top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%);





#container {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: red;
position: relative;
}

#child {
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
background: yellow;
position: absolute;
right: 0;
left: 0;
margin: auto;
top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%)
}

<div id="container">
<div id="child"></div>
</div>

in .category-overlay use this



  top: calc(50% + 88px);
left: calc(50% + 155px);


The 88px and 155px are half of the box size so it should be the middle of your content.

You can just remove transform: translate(-50%, -50%); on .category-overlay:






.category-box {
padding: 15px 0;
position: relative;
}

.category-img {
overflow: hidden;
}

.category-img img {
width: 100%;
object-fit: cover;
object-position: center;
-webkit-transition: ease 0.4s all;
-moz-transition: ease 0.4s all;
-ms-transition: ease 0.4s all;
transition: ease 0.4s all;
}

.category-big-box .category-img img {
height: 500px;
}

.category-content {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
-webkit-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
-moz-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
-ms-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
background-color: #000000;
color: white;
padding: 25px;
text-align: center;
min-width: 260px;

display: flex;
-webkit-flex-direction: column;
-ms-flex-direction: column;
flex-direction: column;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
z-index: 1;
}

.category-overlay {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
height: 0;
width: 0;
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.45);
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
/*-webkit-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
-moz-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
-ms-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);*/
-webkit-transition: ease 0.4s all;
-moz-transition: ease 0.4s all;
-ms-transition: ease 0.4s all;
transition: ease 0.4s all;
}

.category-big-box:hover .category-overlay {
top: 15px;
transform: none;
left: 0;
}

.category-box:hover .category-overlay {
height: calc(100% - 30px);
width: 100%;
}

.category-box:hover .category-img img {
-webkit-transform: scale(1.2);
-moz-transform: scale(1.2);
-ms-transform: scale(1.2);
transform: scale(1.2);
}

<div class="category-box category-big-box">
<div class="category-img">
<img src="https://timeless-dubai.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/i3.jpg" alt="Category Image">
</div>
<div class="category-content">
some content
</div>
<div class="category-overlay"></div>
</div>





If you want to be 100% sure that an absolute positioned element is centered, you can use these properties:



/* Center horizontally */
right: 0;
left: 0;
margin: auto;

/* Center vertically */
top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%);





#container {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: red;
position: relative;
}

#child {
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
background: yellow;
position: absolute;
right: 0;
left: 0;
margin: auto;
top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%)
}

<div id="container">
<div id="child"></div>

in .category-overlay use this



  top: calc(50% + 88px);
left: calc(50% + 155px);


The 88px and 155px are half of the box size so it should be the middle of your content.






.category-box {

  • Nice approach sir, but when it comes to responsive it's not going to work properly sir. So it will be a remaining problem now.

  • As well as it won't placed in exact center when we add + values to the top and left values according to the way I have done this.
