Image

The image icon represents image files, photo galleries, and media upload features in content management and media applications. Featuring a simple picture frame or landscape design, this universal symbol has become the standard indicator for image-related functionality, photo galleries, and media upload interfaces across digital platforms.

In modern applications like image upload zones in content management systems like WordPress and Contentful, photo gallery sections in platforms like Google Photos and iCloud, or media library interfaces in design tools like Canva and Figma where users manage image assets, you'll see this icon representing image functionality and photo content. It appears in social media platforms for photo uploads, in e-commerce product listing forms for image management, or in messaging apps like WhatsApp and Telegram for photo sharing and gallery access.

From a content management perspective, the image placeholder symbol communicates more than just 'photos' - it specifically indicates visual media handling, image file type recognition, and the dedicated space for photographic content within document and content structures. This visual metaphor helps users identify image insertion points and media management features.

Image 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 ImageIcon to components/icons/akar-icons-image.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 ImageIcon 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 Image 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.

Image 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="Image", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. ImageIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <ImageIcon 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.
