Approve

The approve icon represents confirmation and acceptance actions in application workflows. Featuring a bold checkmark or thumbs-up symbol, this icon has become the universal control for approving items, accepting requests, and confirming actions across digital platforms and collaborative tools.

In modern applications like Trello's card actions or GitHub's pull request reviews, you'll see this icon enabling quick approval of proposals and acceptance of changes. It appears in approval workflows when confirming submissions, or in applications like Slack when users need to react positively and approve shared content or requests.

From an interaction design perspective, the checkmark or thumbs-up communicates more than just 'yes' - it specifically indicates positive validation, formal acceptance, and the completion of review processes. This visual clarity helps users distinguish between simple acknowledgment and binding approval actions.

Approve is one of 329 icons in Flat Color Icons, made by Icons8 and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 48 × 48 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 ApproveIcon to components/icons/flat-color-icons-approve.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 ApproveIcon 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 Approve icon, or any of 329 Flat Color Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's multicolor, so it keeps its own colors.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 48 × 48 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It keeps its own colors in light and dark mode, so check it against both backgrounds. 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="Approve", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. ApproveIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <ApproveIcon 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 Flat Color Icons, Icons8 and the license.

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

Its tags are validation, checkmark, agreement, positive, confirm and approve. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Approve in another set.
