Stay Inside

The stay-inside icon represents a symbol for containment or restriction. It visually depicts a shape with boundaries, commonly used to indicate a confined or limited area. This symbol originates from graphical representations used in software and platforms to indicate boundaries or limits.

In real-world applications, the stay-inside icon appears in software and platforms related to diagramming and design, such as Lucidchart or Draw.io, where shapes and boundaries are used to create diagrams. It is also used in spatial analysis tools like geographic information systems (GIS) to indicate boundaries or limits.

From a UX perspective, the stay-inside icon communicates a sense of confinement and restriction. It helps users understand the boundaries or limits of a shape or area, making it an essential element in user interfaces where spatial analysis is required.

Stay Inside is one of 2,547 icons in Carbon, made by IBM and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 32 × 32 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds StayInsideIcon to components/icons/carbon-stay-inside.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 StayInsideIcon 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 Stay Inside icon, or any of 2,547 Carbon 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 32 × 32 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

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="Stay Inside", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. StayInsideIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <StayInsideIcon 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. Apache 2.0 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: Apache 2.0 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 Carbon, IBM and the license.

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

Its tags are shape and restrict. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Stay Inside in another set.

Carbon draws many icons in several styles: Filled next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see Stay Inside's siblings in it.
