Grin

The grin icon represents a facial expression of happiness or joy. It is commonly used to convey a sense of friendliness or approachability. The grin face is a widely recognized symbol in digital communication, often used in text messages, emails, and social media posts.

In digital platforms, the grin icon appears in various software and tools, such as emoji keyboards, messaging apps like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, and social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram.

From a UX perspective, the grin icon communicates a clear and immediate emotional response, helping users quickly understand the tone or sentiment of a message or situation. It can also be used to provide feedback or express happiness.

Grin is one of 272 icons in Font Awesome Regular, made by Dave Gandy and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 640 × 640 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 GrinIcon to components/icons/fa7-regular-grin.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 GrinIcon 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 Grin icon, or any of 272 Font Awesome 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 640 × 640 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="Grin", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. GrinIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <GrinIcon 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, with credit: CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author (Dave Gandy) where you use the icons. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

Yes. CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author where you use the icons, for example "Icons by Dave Gandy, CC BY 4.0" on an about or credits page.

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