{{CSSRef}}
The **`text-justify`** CSS property sets what type of justification should be applied to text when {{cssxref("text-align")}}`: justify;` is set on an element.
## Syntax
```css
text-justify: none;
text-justify: auto;
text-justify: inter-word;
text-justify: inter-character;
text-justify: distribute; /* Deprecated value */
/* Global values */
text-justify: inherit;
text-justify: initial;
text-justify: revert;
text-justify: revert-layer;
text-justify: unset;
```
### Values
- `none`
- : The text justification is turned off. This has the same effect as not setting {{cssxref("text-align")}} at all, although it is useful if you need to turn justification on and off for some reason.
- `auto`
- : The browser chooses the best type of justification for the current situation based on a balance between performance and quality, but also on what is most appropriate for the language of the text (e.g., English, CJK languages, etc.). This is the default justification used if `text-justify` is not set at all.
- `inter-word`
- : The text is justified by adding space between words (effectively varying {{cssxref("word-spacing")}}), which is most appropriate for languages that separate words using spaces, like English or Korean.
- `inter-character`
- : The text is justified by adding space between characters (effectively varying {{cssxref("letter-spacing")}}), which is most appropriate for languages like Japanese.
- `distribute`
- : Exhibits the same behavior as `inter-character`; this value is kept for backwards compatibility.
