Question 1

What does the Stretch Vertical icon mean?

Accepted Answer

Featuring two vertical bars, this icon represents vertical stretching and height expansion in design and layout applications. The vertical orientation indicates height adjustment, the scaling operation that expands or contracts elements vertically while maintaining horizontal dimensions, crucial for responsive layouts and flexible component design.

Question 2

Where is the Stretch Vertical icon used?

Accepted Answer

In design tools like Figma, Adobe Illustrator, and Sketch, users apply vertical stretching for component height adjustments and responsive layout creation. Web design frameworks implement it for vertical flex behaviors, while image editing applications display it for aspect ratio modifications requiring height dimension changes without horizontal scaling.

Question 3

What does the Stretch Vertical icon tell users?

Accepted Answer

The vertical bars communicate more than dimension adjustment - they specifically represent constrained vertical scaling, the height-only transformation that distinguishes vertical from horizontal stretching, and the responsive design capability that enables adaptive component sizing. This control helps maintain design flexibility.

Question 4

Can I download the Stretch Vertical icon as SVG or PNG?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Question 11

How do I change the color of the Stretch Vertical icon?

Accepted Answer

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Question 12

How do I change the size of the Stretch Vertical icon?

Accepted Answer

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.

Question 13

How do I make the Stretch Vertical icon accessible?

Accepted Answer

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Stretch Vertical", so screen readers say what it does.
