<i class="pi pi-check"></i>
<i class="pi pi-times"></i>
<span class="pi pi-search"></span>
<span class="pi pi-user"></span>

Size #

Size of an icon is controlled with the font-size property of the element.


<i class="pi pi-check" style="font-size: 1rem"></i>
<i class="pi pi-times" style="font-size: 1.5rem"></i>
<i class="pi pi-search" style="font-size: 2rem"></i>
<i class="pi pi-user" style="font-size: 2.5rem"></i>

Color #

Icon color is defined with the color property which is inherited from parent by default.


<i class="pi pi-check" style="color: slateblue"></i>
<i class="pi pi-times" style="color: green"></i>
<i class="pi pi-search" style="color: 'var(--primary-color)'"></i>
<i class="pi pi-user" style="color: #708090"></i>

Special pi-spin class applies infinite rotation to an icon.


<i class="pi pi-spin pi-spinner" style="font-size: 2rem"></i>
<i class="pi pi-spin pi-cog" style="font-size: 2rem"></i>
