Centering in front of an image

If you need to center text over an image, you might want to wrap your img in a div, use positioning on the img itself as well as the text.

You would then be able to center this using transforms (supporting multi-lined text).

demo

.wrap {
  position: relative;
  display: inline-block;
  height: 300px;
  width: 300px;
}
img {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
}
p {
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  display: inline-block;
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
  font-size: 20px;
  color: tomato;
  font-weight: bold;
}

Images with buttons

Since button elements are centered automatically by default, you're issue would be to add an image to the button.

This can be achieved using the background-image property.

So in your CSS use something like:

background-image:url(http://lorempixel.com/200/200);

adjusting the size using

background-size:100% 100%;

to stretch it to the full size of the button.
