## Key features

The Angular TextArea component offers a variety of features designed to enhance user experience and provide extensive customization options. With these, you can seamlessly input and edit multiline text content.

### Resizable text areas

The Angular TextArea component can be [resized](https://ej2.syncfusion.com/angular/demos/#/material3/textarea/resize "Demo: Resize functionality of the Angular TextArea component") vertically, horizontally, or in both directions by selecting the corresponding resize mode option.

### Floating label

The Angular TextArea intelligently floats the placeholder text based on the specified [floating label type](https://ej2.syncfusion.com/angular/demos/#/material3/textarea/floating-label "Demo: Floating label functionality of the Angular TextArea component") option. When users start typing, the label transitions elegantly above the text area. This provides users with clear guidance about the required input and enhances usability.

### Customization options

Developers have complete control over the TextArea component’s appearance and behavior. They can customize the number of rows and columns, specify the maximum length of input, turn the text area on or off, and apply custom CSS styles to match the look and feel of their app.

#### Rows and columns

Easily customize the dimensions of your text area by specifying the desired number of [rows and columns](https://ej2.syncfusion.com/angular/documentation/textarea/rows-columns "Rows and columns in Angular TextArea component") so that it fits seamlessly into any application layout.

#### Maximum length

You can also define the [maximum number of characters](https://ej2.syncfusion.com/angular/documentation/textarea/max-length "Maximum length in Angular TextArea component") users can input in the TextArea.

It ensures that users with disabilities can navigate and interact with the text area using assistive technologies such as screen readers and keyboard shortcuts. Additionally, the component is compatible with all major web browsers, ensuring a seamless experience for users across different platforms.
