How to customize the People icon in Angular Material

Use the controls at the top of this page to preview people at any size and color, then copy the code. Here is what each setting does in your own Angular app.

Change the People icon size

<mat-icon> is fixed at 24 × 24 px, so set width and height along with font-size or the People glyph will overflow its box.

<mat-icon fontSet="material-icons" class="people-icon">people</mat-icon>

.people-icon {
  font-size: 40px;
  width: 40px;
  height: 40px;
}

Change the People icon color

The icon is a font glyph, so it takes the CSS text color. Set color on the <mat-icon> or on a parent, or use a theme variable to follow light and dark mode.

.people-icon {
  color: #1a73e8;
  /* or follow your Material 3 theme */
  color: var(--mat-sys-primary);
}

People icon FAQ

How do I change the color of the People icon in Angular Material?
Give the <mat-icon> a class and set the CSS color property, for example .people-icon { color: #1a73e8; }. The people icon is a font glyph, so any text color works, including theme variables such as var(--mat-sys-primary).
How do I make the People icon bigger?
Set font-size, width and height together, for example font-size: 40px; width: 40px; height: 40px;. <mat-icon> has a fixed 24px box, so changing font-size alone makes the icon overflow.
