Window Restore

The window-restore icon represents a button or action to restore a minimized or maximized window to its original size. This icon is commonly used in graphical user interfaces to provide users with control over window management. The concept of window restoration has been a staple in computing for decades, allowing users to efficiently manage multiple windows and their workspace.

In software applications, the window-restore icon often appears in window management menus or toolbars, alongside other window control icons like minimize and maximize. For example, in Figma, a popular design tool, the window-restore icon allows users to quickly restore a minimized window, ensuring seamless workflow and productivity.

From a UX perspective, the window-restore icon effectively communicates the possibility of restoring a window to its original state, providing users with a clear understanding of the available functionality. This icon helps users navigate interfaces with confidence, knowing they can easily manage their workspace and windows.

Window Restore is one of 151 icons in Font Awesome 5 Regular, made by Dave Gandy and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 512 × 512 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 WindowRestoreIcon to components/icons/fa-regular-window-restore.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 WindowRestoreIcon 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 Window Restore icon, or any of 151 Font Awesome 5 Regular 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 512 × 512 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="Window Restore", so screen readers say what it does.

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