Switch Camera

The switch-camera icon represents camera source switching and view toggling functionality in camera applications. Featuring camera switch arrows or flip symbol, this icon has become the standard control for switching cameras, toggling between front and rear cameras, and changing camera views across mobile and video platforms.

In modern applications like video calling or mobile camera apps, you'll see this icon switching between camera sources and toggling camera views. It appears in video interfaces when flipping between front and back cameras, or in applications like conferencing tools when users need to change camera inputs and switch video sources.

From a video control perspective, the camera switch symbol communicates more than just 'change' - it specifically indicates camera source toggling, the switch between multiple camera options, and the ability to change video input sources. This control helps users access different cameras and optimize their video presentation.

Switch Camera 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 SwitchCameraIcon to components/icons/flat-color-icons-switch-camera.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 SwitchCameraIcon 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 Switch Camera 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="Switch Camera", so screen readers say what it does.

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