How to use

Use a Chip to show small pieces of information (like tags, filters, or choices) or to let users take quick actions (like removing a tag).

A Chip usually has a short label and may include an icon.
Place Chips close to related content. For example, below a search box or on a list filter bar. They help users understand options at a glance, choose filters, or delete items easily.

Do’s and Don’ts

Don't

Accessibility

  • Always include a text label inside the Chip so screen readers can describe it.
  • If the Chip is dismissible, make sure the close icon is focusable by keyboard and has an aria-label.
  • If Chips are used as filters and change the content on screen, make sure this change is announced for assistive technologies.

Content

  • Use short and meaningful labels (usually 1–3 words).
  • Choose words that reflect categories, tags, or quick filters, not full sentences.
  • Write labels in sentence case: only capitalize the first word, unless it’s a proper name.
  • Chips are not for giving feedback or long information — use them only for keywords or short actions.
