# Normalize

> Creates a normalized copy of the given vector.

## Definition

* **Type:** Method
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.CoreModule

## Normalize(Vector2)

Creates a normalized copy of the given vector.

```csharp
public static Vector2 Normalize(Vector2 value)
```

### Parameters

**** (\[Vector2]\(/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/vector2)): The vector to normalize.

### Returns

| Type                                                              | Description                                                                                                                                         |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [Vector2](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/vector2.md) | A new vector with the same direction as `value` but with a magnitude of 1. If `value` is too small to be normalized, the result is the zero vector. |

## Normalize(Vector2)

Creates a normalized copy of the given vector.

```csharp
public static Vector2 Normalize(in Vector2 value)
```

### Parameters

**** (\[Vector2]\(/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/vector2)): The vector to normalize.

### Returns

| Type                                                              | Description                                                                                                                                         |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [Vector2](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/vector2.md) | A new vector with the same direction as `value` but with a magnitude of 1. If `value` is too small to be normalized, the result is the zero vector. |

## Normalize()

Makes this vector have a [Vector2.magnitude](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/vector2/magnitude.md) of 1.

```csharp
public void Normalize()
```

### Remarks

When normalized, a vector keeps the same direction but its length is 1.0.

Note that this function will change the current vector. If you want to keep the current vector unchanged, use [Vector2.normalized](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/vector2/normalized.md) variable.

If this vector is too small to be normalized it will be set to zero.
