Checkbox UI design: Best practices and examples

thumbnail
  • Checkbox UI design is a common component used to select from yes or no options.
  • It consists of an input element, a label, and a sign.
  • Checkbox sizes can vary but are typically between 24x24px and 44x44px.
  • Checkbox states include enable, disable, and focus.
  • There are three types of selection: not selected, selected, and intermediate.
  • Checkbox lists should be organized vertically for better readability.
  • If there is a minimum required selection, it should be mentioned to guide the user.
  • The behavior of the intermediate state depends on the user's needs.
  • Clickable labels improve usability by providing a larger click/tap area.
  • Checkbox labels should be positioned to the right for better intuitiveness.
