Change SVG size in Angular Material 2 <mat-icon> using vanilla CSS or HTML
Solution 1
It seems that library styles override your css inline declaration. Try maybe to add !important
declaration to your style: style="font-size: 16 !important"
or since you didn't provide more code, try to inspect this icon node, to check which style define the font-size.

UPDATE:
Here is another possibly working solution. Add transform: scale(2);
style for svg element you want to resize, where 2 is 200% of actual size (of course you can also downsize them using for example 0.5 value for 50%). Here is working sample for the website with your icons and link to documnetation:
.size-24 button svg {
width: 24px;
height: 24px;
transform: scale(2);
}
Solution 2
I played with this for way too long.
I have a series of icons that I want to be scaled to fit in various mat-icon
sizes, but each icon needs a different scale so they appear balanced with the other icons - effectively increasing the size of the viewBox.
In the end this worked well enough:
mat-icon
{
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
display: flex;
flex-shrink: 0;
justify-content: center;
outline: 1px dashed red; // for testing
& ::ng-deep svg
{
align-self: center;
}
&.shrink-90 ::ng-deep svg
{
width: 90%;
height: 90%;
}
&.shrink-80 ::ng-deep svg
{
width: 80%;
height: 80%;
}
}
Then I create the mat-icon
with this, where iconCss='shrink-80'
<mat-icon svgIcon="{{ feature.name }}" [ngClass]="feature.iconCss"></mat-icon>
The mat-icon
itself can be scaled with whatever additional classes you want (just like you would for a normal icon). Then the 'shrinking' adjusts the size within the box.
Solution 3
In my application, with Material 7, I just changed the width and height of the "mat-icon" element in CSS (with !important, of course), and it worked for me like a charm.
For example:
mat-icon {
width: 32px !important;
height: 32px !important;
}
Solution 4
Taking @mpro solution, I did some changes that work better for me ( I have custom icons so maybe that's the reason why):
mat-icon[size="2"]{
width: 48px;
height: 48px;
}
mat-icon[size="2"] svg{
transform: scale(2);
transform-origin: left top;
}
or the scss solution:
@mixin iconSize($size){
&[size="#{$size}"]{
width: 24px*$size;
height: 24px*$size;
svg{
transform: scale($size);
transform-origin: left top;
}
}
}
Solution 5
This is how I change mat-icon
size in @angular/material2
6.0.0
Although in this method it is only the SVG icon that changes it size, if you're using mat-icon-button
. Just adjust the size of mat-icon button
if your new size is too big. You don't need to think of this if its plain mat-icon
.
.mat-icon {
font-size: /* your size here */;
}

How do I change the size of an SVG icon on Angular 2+ Material Design using vanilla CSS, HTML, or JS?
If I specify the icon inside the HTML element, styling works fine:
<mat-icon style="font-size: 16px !important">home</mat-icon>
However, when I use the
svgIcon
attribute (for instance, if using a third-party icon library), the icon cannot be resized:<mat-icon style="font-size: 16px !important" svgIcon="home"></mat-icon>
I am aware that SVGs are more complicated to scale, and I could use the
viewBox
attribute. However, I cannot even access the<svg>
child element inside<mat-icon>
to do an ugly JS hack. Is there a straightforward way of doing it with vanilla CSS? Or even an ugly hack on the Angular component?Extra info: I am using the
mdi.svg
icon library from https://materialdesignicons.com to get additional icons for my Angular project. To use these, however, I must use thesvgIcon
attribute. -
Gerardo Figueroa over 6 yearsIt actually seems to be more than the
style
attribute. The styles are in fact defined in their owncss
file (I wrote them like that for simplification purposes here). The question is how to resize the<svg>
from its parent component, as I have no access to the<svg>
itself. -
mpro over 6 years@GerardoFigueroa updated the answer, try
transform: scale();
. More information above. -
Gerardo Figueroa over 6 yearsThat update using the
transform
property did the trick, thanks! -
aruno almost 6 yearsThis may not work if angular team ever deprecates ::ng-deep but they can't seem to decide what they're doing yet.
