FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What the Bounding Box icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
What does the Bounding Box icon mean?
The bounding-box icon represents a rectangular shape that serves as a bounding box. This symbol is commonly used to visually represent a selection or transformation handle. The concept of a bounding box originates from graphic design and layout composition.
Where is the Bounding Box icon used?
In software and digital platforms, the bounding-box icon appears in tools like Figma, Sketch, and Adobe XD for designing user interfaces. It is also used in diagramming tools such as Lucidchart and Draw.io to represent selection or transformation handles.
What does the Bounding Box icon tell users?
From a UX perspective, the bounding-box icon helps users understand the selection or transformation options available. It communicates a range of choices for customizing the appearance of content, making it easier for users to navigate and comprehend the interface.
Which library is the Bounding Box icon from?
Bounding Box is one of 2,084 icons in Bootstrap Icons, made by The Bootstrap Authors and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 16 × 16 grid.
How do I install the Bounding Box 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 BoundingBoxIcon to components/icons/bi-bounding-box.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.
How do I use the Bounding Box icon in Next.js or React?
Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed BoundingBoxIcon 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 Bounding Box 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 Bounding Box icon for me?
With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Bounding Box icon, or any of 2,084 Bootstrap Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.
How do I change the color of the Bounding Box 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 Bounding Box icon?
Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 16 × 16 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.
Does the Bounding Box 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 Bounding Box 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="Bounding Box", so screen readers say what it does.
Can I pass aria-hidden or aria-label to the Bounding Box icon?
Yes. BoundingBoxIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <BoundingBoxIcon 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 Bounding Box 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 Bounding Box 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 Bounding Box 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 Bootstrap Icons, The Bootstrap Authors and the license.
Is the Bounding Box icon free?
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
Which other libraries have the Bounding Box icon?
