Scan

The scan icon represents a scanning action, often used to indicate barcode or QR code scanning. It symbolizes data capture, identification, and verification. The scan icon originates from terminology used in scanning and data capture.

The scan icon is commonly used in software applications, such as point-of-sale systems, inventory management tools, and mobile apps. For example, it may appear as a button to initiate a scan.

From a UX perspective, the scan icon communicates a sense of data capture and identification, helping users understand how to interact with scanning technology. It provides a clear visual cue for users to initiate a scan.

Scan is one of 1,342 icons in Famicons, made by Family and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 512 × 512 grid with a 44 stroke.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds ScanIcon to components/icons/famicons-scan.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 ScanIcon 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 Scan icon, or any of 1,342 Famicons 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, and its stroke.

Scan is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 44. Change it in Customize before you copy, or pass strokeWidth to the installed component when all of its strokes share one width.

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="Scan", so screen readers say what it does.

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

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 Famicons, Family and the license.

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

8 other libraries draw an icon called Scan. The Other libraries section on this page shows each one, so you can compare them and open the one that fits your style.

Its tags are data, code, capture, barcode, scanning and QR. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Scan in another set.

Famicons draws many icons in several styles: Outline and Sharp next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see Scan's siblings in it.
