I need centered text into images. How can I do this?

This is my HTML markup:

<ul class="collection">
    <li><a href="#"><img class="col-img1" src="images/bouquets.jpeg" alt=""><p class="col-text">Букети</p></a></li>
    <li><a href="#"><img class="col-img2" src="images/natural_flowers.jpeg" alt=""><p class="col-text">Живі квіти</p></a></li>
    <li><a href="#"><img class="col-img3" src="images/own_bouquet.png" alt=""><p class="col-text">"Свій" букет</p></a></li>
</ul>

I get this result

But I need this instead

You have to set position:relative to the parent of your position:absolute child (here it is .collection li a instead of .collection).

Then you can set your element with top, left, bottom and right.

To horizontally center an absolute positioned element, you can use :

  left:0;
  right:0;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;

Also, instead of selecting .col-img1, .col-img2, .col-img3{}, you can select every class staring with col-img with the selector [class^="col-img"]{}.

* {
  box-sizing: border-box;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}
body {
  font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif;
  background-color: white;
  color: #351f21;
}
.collection {
  list-style: none;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
}
.collection li a {
  position: relative;
}
[class^="col-img"] {
  background-color: #cccccc;
  height: 145px;
  width: 210px;
}
.col-text {
  background-color: #a9bfe4;
  height: 35px;
  width: 140px;
  text-decoration: none;
  color: white;
  text-align: center;
  align-items: center;
  
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 10px;
  left:0;
  right:0;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
}
<ul class="collection">
  <li><a href="#"><img class="col-img1" src="https://via.placeholder.com/400x300" alt=""><p class="col-text">Букети</p></a></li>
  <li><a href="#"><img class="col-img2" src="https://via.placeholder.com/400x300" alt=""><p class="col-text">Живі квіти</p></a></li>
  <li><a href="#"><img class="col-img3" src="https://via.placeholder.com/400x300" alt=""><p class="col-text">"Свій" букет</p></a></li>
</ul>

Your anchor tag has to be position: relative and the overlay has to be position: absolute.

By setting left: 0 and right: 0 of your overlay, it uses the whole available width. (If you want to have a gap on the sides, just set them to something higher than zero. In the code given above, it's set to 10px) To center the text, you can use text-align: center.

a {
  display: block;
  position: relative;
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
}

img {
  width: 100%;
}

.overlay {
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 10px;
  left: 10px;
  right: 10px;
  background-color: blue;
  color: white;
  text-align: center;
}
<a class="container">
  <img src="https://via.placeholder.com/300">
  <div class="overlay">This is my div</div>
</a>
