</a>The SVG icon is 50px X 50px, but since the a is usually a inline element it gives some extra space,
Just like a text which is an inline element, that gives space up, and down
This causes the browser to think that ,svg which is inside a is an inline element, and gives space.
To perfectly make the a element's width and height equal to svg
display: inline-flex to parent's(a) cssdisplay: inline-table to child's(svg) cssa {
background-color: rgba(42, 165, 42, 0.596);
text-decoration: none;
display: inline-flex;
}
svg {
background-color: rgba(165, 42, 42, 0.596);
height: 50px;
display: inline-table;
