How to style a “choose file” button using CSS only

I want to try design this :

<input type="file" multiple>

What I want: I want change its color, also change its size...

Solution

  • File type is a native element henceforth you cant change it's appearance. Instead you can hide at the back of some element.

    <div>
  Choose File
 <input type="file" class="hide_file">
</div>

 div{
  padding:5px 10px;
  background:#00ad2d;
  border:1px solid #00ad2d;
  position:relative;
  color:#fff;
  border-radius:2px;
  text-align:center;
  float:left;
  cursor:pointer
}
.hide_file {
    position: absolute;
    z-index: 1000;
    opacity: 0;
    cursor: pointer;
    right: 0;
    top: 0;
    height: 100%;
    font-size: 24px;
    width: 100%;
}
