# Stroke width All icons are designed with SVG elements using strokes. These have a default stroke width of `2px`. The `strokeWidth` can be adjusted to create a different look of the icons. ## Adjusting stroke width with `strokeWidth` prop ## Absolute stroke width When adjusting the `size` prop the size of the stroke width will be relative to the size of the icon, this is the default SVG behavior. The `absoluteStrokeWidth` prop is introduced to adjust this behavior to make the stroke width constant no matter the size of the icon. This means that when `absoluteStrokeWidth` is enabled and the `size` of the icons is set to `48px` the `strokeWidth` will still be `2px` on the screen. Note `2px` is the default stroke width for a Lucide icon, this can be adjusted to all sizes. ![Absolute stroke width comparison](../../images/absolute-stroke-width-compare.png?raw=true "Absolute stroke width comparison") ### Adjusting stroke width with `absoluteStrokeWidth` prop Setting `absoluteStrokeWidth` to `true` will make the stroke width absolute.
