Dot Grid

The dot-grid icon represents dot grid patterns, layout visualization, and grid-based design tools in design applications and layout systems. Featuring a pattern of evenly-spaced dots arranged in a grid, this icon is commonly used to indicate grid view modes, dot grid templates, pattern overlays, and layout guides in design tools, note-taking apps, and visualization platforms.

In modern applications like grid view toggles in design tools like Figma or Sketch, dot grid templates in note-taking apps like Notion or GoodNotes, layout guide overlays in graphic design software, or pattern visualization in data analysis tools, you'll see this icon representing dot grid patterns and grid-based layout systems. It appears in view mode controls for switching to dot grid displays, in template selectors for dot grid note pages, or in design tool settings for enabling grid overlay guides.

From a design system perspective, the dot grid pattern communicates more than just 'dots' - it specifically indicates flexible alignment guides, the non-intrusive grid system that provides structure without visual dominance, and the versatile layout tool used in everything from bullet journaling to precise design alignment. This pattern clarity helps users understand grid-based layout assistance and recognize dot grid templates for structured content organization.

Dot Grid is one of 458 icons in Akar Icons, made by Arturo Wibawa and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 2 stroke.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds DotGridIcon to components/icons/akar-icons-dot-grid.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed DotGridIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Dot Grid icon, or any of 458 Akar Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.

Dot Grid is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 2. Change it in Customize before you copy, or pass strokeWidth to the installed component when all of its strokes share one width.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Dot Grid", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. DotGridIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <DotGridIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Akar Icons, Arturo Wibawa and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
