Icon Button

Icon buttons help people take minor actions with one tap

Usage

Use icon buttons to display actions in a compact layout. Icon buttons can represent opening actions such as opening an overflow menu or search, or represent binary actions that can be toggled on and off, such as favorite or bookmark.

Icon buttons can be grouped together or they can stand alone.

Standard Buttons

Standard icon buttons are used for primary actions on a page.

Outlined Buttons

Outlined icon buttons are used for secondary actions on a page.

Danger Buttons

Danger buttons are used for actions that are destructive, like deleting an item or canceling a process. They should be used sparingly, and only when the action is irreversible.

Ghost Buttons

Ghost buttons are used for tertiary actions on a page, like Help or Learn more. They should be used for actions that are less important than the secondary action on the page.

Placement

Icon buttons are commonly used in other components, like top app bars and cards. These buttons should be used for common actions. Only display a few icon buttons at once.
