# CSS resize Property

# **CSS resize Property**

The `resize` property defines if (and how) an element is resizable by the user.

**Note:** The `resize` property does not apply to inline elements or to block elements where overflow="visible". So, make sure that overflow is set to "scroll", "auto", or "hidden".
