SVG size in react

Question

Hello im desperately trying to size an svg in react. No matter what i do the size stays the same even though the div containing it is much smaller. In normal html and css it would size automatically what am i doing wrong?

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import logo from './logo.svg'

class Logo extends Component {
    render(){
        return(
            <div className="size">
            <img src={logo} alt={"logo"}/> 
            </div>
        );
    }
}

export default Logo

Try this, it will be working perfectly.

import Logo from "./logo.svg";
            <img
              src={Logo}
              style={{ height: 53, width: 36 }}
              alt="website logo"
            />

In TypeScript, this does not work if you have defined svg as type. The compiler will complain, and even with typecasts I don't get it to work. – Risadinha Jun 23 '22 at 15:51

If you import a SVG file as a component:

import { ReactElement as ComponentName } from "./file.svg"

You can change the size using CSS transform: scale(2) in <ComponentName />, which in React can be achieved using className or a global CSS file.

Note: To change the color you can use .componentClass path { fill: "color" }, but if you change the scale on .componentClass path it'll not look cool, even if you change the width and height on the component .componentClass, which will actually change the SVG container size and not the content...

When scaling down (eg. 0.75), the svg is being scaled, but still takes up the original space around. any idea? – martinoss Dec 02 '20 at 09:26
In my case, I used `font-size` cause I was working with icons. If you have control over your `` you can [check](https://learn-the-web.algonquindesign.ca/topics/svg-cheat-sheet/) the type of figure that you're dealing with ant set its size manually, e.g the view box that may not be scaling in accord to your figure. – Dec 02 '20 at 12:37
Update: I wrapped the svg in a div and set height and weight, simple as that. – martinoss Dec 02 '20 at 16:07
only works with "Create React App" – ldgorman Feb 07 '23 at 16:04

Open SVG file in a text editor and remove width and height attributes from the root node

This needs to be in top 2nd or 3rd as most of us finding this solution. – xxxhomie21 Feb 19 '22 at 13:04

Alongside using `import { ReactElement as ComponentName } from "./file.svg"` if you remove the size attrs from the svg element, then it's just doing `` – Tebo Jun 01 '22 at 20:45

Take it a bit further and add `fill="currentColor"` to the svg element and you can filly customize it at the component level – Tebo Jun 01 '22 at 20:46
this worked for me. – kapil Jul 24 '23 at 10:08

Hi I'm not sure how is your webpack configured to resolve modules. But here is solution for your case :

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import logo from './logo.svg'

@Jurijcorn - It's been almost a year and you have yet told your experience ;) — vsync, Jun 20 '19 at 09:04
@vsync hey i'm sorry i didn't told you my experience, shortly after my task was changed to something else sadly so i haven't tried it out until now :/ I'm not anymore involved in the react development because my project was submitted to the higher places, i'm doing more graphic design and frontent delight right now :P — Blue Lovag, Oct 15 '19 at 10:17
This doesn't work for me, and according to a pretty comprehensive article on CSS tricks (below), shouldn't work without the viewbox attribute. Once I set that up with original dimensions of the SVG this code worked https://css-tricks.com/scale-svg/ — Chris Webb, Nov 08 '19 at 05:55

This can easily be done by editing the respective SVG code directly. See as below:

<svg id="_x31_" enable-background="new 0 0 24 24" height="250" viewBox="0 0 24 24" width="250" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="m20.5 18h-6c-.276 0-.5-.224-.5-.5s.224-.5.5-.5h6c.276 0 .5.224.5.5s-.224.5-.5.5z"/><path d="m13.5 9h-10c-.276 0-.5-.224-.5-.5s.224-.5.5-.5h10c.276 0 .5.224.5.5s-.224.5-.5.5z"/><path d="m10.5 12h-7c-.276 0-.5-.224-.5-.5s.224-.5.5-.5h7c.276 0 .5.224.5.5s-.224.5-.5.5z"/><path d="m8.5 15h-5c-.276 0-.5-.224-.5-.5s.224-.5.5-.5h5c.276 0 .5.224.5.5s-.224.5-.5.5z"/></svg>

You only need to change the height and width attributes respectively.

I had the same issue and fix it by first,

importing the svg as a ReactComponent
wrapping the component in a div
making the component width 100% of it's parent
ajusting the height to get the desire size

For me, that worked and it kept its proportions

I have resized the icon using the user7075574's import (reference to that How to display svg icons(.svg files) in UI using React Component?)

import { ReactElement as IconTestName } from "./testname.svg"

and used props on JSX.Element like

const AppWithSingleIcon = () => <IconTestName height={24} width={24} fill='orange' />

This gives just enough control to resize SVG path without an external containing div. If the path size is set e.g. at size (24, 24) then setting the prop height={36} will not resize because the prop width={24} is a limiting factor.

It just makes the container bigger, but the image of the SVG stays the same. — MasterPiece, Mar 02 '22 at 09:45

You must make:

import logo from './logo.svg'
const Logo = () => {

return (
  <logo height='200px' width='500px' alt="tuvieja"/>
);
}

}
