FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What the Eye icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
What does the Eye icon mean?
The eye icon represents visibility control and preview functionality in digital applications. Featuring an eye symbol, this icon indicates the ability to view content, toggle visibility states, or preview hidden information across modern interfaces and content management systems.
Where is the Eye icon used?
In modern applications like password fields with show/hide toggles, layer visibility in design tools like Figma or Photoshop, or content preview in platforms like Medium, you'll see this icon enabling users to control visibility and view content. It appears in privacy settings when managing visibility options, or in analytics dashboards when revealing detailed metrics and data.
What does the Eye icon tell users?
From a visibility control perspective, the eye symbol communicates more than just 'show' - it specifically indicates visibility state management, preview capability, and the user's control over what content is revealed or concealed. This functional distinction helps users understand they're controlling visibility rather than performing other viewing actions.
Which library is the Eye icon from?
Eye 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.
How do I install the Eye icon with the shadcn CLI?
Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds EyeIcon to components/icons/akar-icons-eye.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.
How do I use the Eye icon in Next.js or React?
Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed EyeIcon 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.
How do I use the Eye icon in Vue, Svelte or Angular?
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.
Can my AI agent install the Eye icon for me?
With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Eye icon, or any of 458 Akar Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.
How do I change the color of the Eye icon?
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.
How do I change the size of the Eye icon?
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.
How do I change the stroke width of the Eye icon?
Eye 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.
Does the Eye icon work in dark mode?
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.
How do I make the Eye icon accessible?
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="Eye", so screen readers say what it does.
Can I pass aria-hidden or aria-label to the Eye icon?
Yes. EyeIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <EyeIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.
Can I download the Eye icon as SVG or PNG?
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.
Can I use the Eye icon in commercial projects?
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.
Do I have to credit the author of the Eye icon?
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.
Is the Eye icon free?
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
Which other libraries have the Eye icon?
8 other libraries draw an icon called Eye. The Other libraries section on this page shows each one, so you can compare them and open the one that fits your style.
What tags does the Eye icon have?
Its tags are view, visibility, eye, show, preview and visible. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Eye in another set.
Does the Eye icon come in other styles?
Akar Icons draws many icons in several styles: Fill next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see Eye's siblings in it.
