Hello guys in this tutorial, we are going to learn how to create a download button using HTML & CSS and also I have listed Top 10 download button examples which are available on CodePen.
How to create a download button?
Step 1 — Creating a New Project
In this step, we need to create a new project folder and files (index.html, style.css) for creating a download button. In the next step, we will start creating the structure of the webpage.
Step 2 — Setting Up the basic structure
In this step, we will add the HTML code to create the basic structure of the project.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<title>How to create a download button?</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<meta https-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=IBM+Plex+Sans&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
<!-- Add icon library -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
This is the base structure of most web pages that use HTML.
Add the following code inside the <body> tag:
<div class="download_btn_outer">
<button class="download_btn"><i class="fa fa-download"></i> Download</button>
</div>
Step 3 — Adding Styles for the Classes
In this step, we will add styles to the section class Inside style.css file
* {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
font-family: 'IBM Plex Sans', sans-serif;
}
body {
display:flex;
align-item:center;
justify-content: center;
}
.download_btn_outer {
padding:150px 0;
}
.download_btn {
padding: 10px 40px 10px 10px;
font-size: 16px;
background-color: #0f62fe;
color: #fff;
border: 1px solid #0000;
cursor: pointer;
}
.download_btn:hover {
background-color: #0353e9;
}
.download_btn > i {
margin-right:5px;
}
