How do I change the font size of a UILabel in Swift?

Question

You can do it like this:

label.font = UIFont(name: label.font.fontName, size: 20)

Or like this:

label.font = label.font.withSize(20)

This will use the same font. 20 can be whatever size you want of course.

Note: The latter option will overwrite the current font weight to regular so if you want to preserve the font weight use the first option.

Swift 3 Update:

label.font = label.font.withSize(20)

Swift 4 Update:

label.font = label.font.withSize(20)

or

label.font = UIFont(name:"fontname", size: 20.0)

and if you use the system fonts

label.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 20.0)
label.font = UIFont.boldSystemFont(ofSize: 20.0)
label.font = UIFont.italicSystemFont(ofSize: 20.0)

I think the best way to do this - if keeping the same font that is already assigned to the UILabel would be:

(using Swift)

label.font = label.font.fontWithSize(20)

(using Swift 3)

label.font = label.font.withSize(20)

Ideally I would set this in the viewDidLayoutSubviews method, as it doesn't need to change every time the view appears.

label.font = UIFont.systemFontOfSize(20)

We can set font as per our requirement like,

label.font = UIFont(name: "Avenir-Light", size: 15.0)
label.font = UIFont.boldSystemFontOfSize(15)
label.font = UIFont.italicSystemFontOfSize(15)
label.font = UIFont.systemFontOfSize(17)

If you want just change size of your font i create this extension

// Add extension

extension UILabel {
    func setSizeFont (sizeFont: Double) {
        self.font =  UIFont(name: self.font.fontName, size: sizeFont)!
        self.sizeToFit()
    }
}

// Use

myLabel.setSizeFont(60)

You can give like this also

labelName.font = UIFont(name: "systemFont", size: 30)
