Minimize 2

The minimize-2 icon represents a window or screen being reduced to a smaller size, symbolizing a decrease in display area. It typically features a rectangular shape with two arrows pointing inward. This symbol originates from the early days of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and is commonly used in operating systems and software applications.

In real-world applications, the minimize-2 icon appears in various software and platforms, such as Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems, as well as in web browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge. It is also commonly used in desktop applications like Microsoft Office and Adobe Creative Cloud.

From a UX perspective, the minimize-2 icon communicates the ability to reduce a window or screen to a smaller size, allowing users to focus on other tasks or content. It helps users understand the functionality of the interface and navigate to a more compact experience.

Minimize 2 is one of 288 icons in Circum Icons, made by Klarr Agency and released under Mozilla Public License 2.0. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 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 Minimize2Icon to components/icons/circum-minimize-2.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 Minimize2Icon 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 Minimize 2 icon, or any of 288 Circum 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.

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="Minimize 2", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. Minimize2Icon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <Minimize2Icon 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.

Circum Icons is released under Mozilla Public License 2.0. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

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