Synchronize

The synchronize icon represents data synchronization and sync functionality across applications. Featuring circular sync arrows, this icon has become the universal representation for synchronization, data syncing, and content synchronization across cloud and data platforms.

In modern applications like cloud storage or sync services like Dropbox, you'll see this icon initiating data synchronization and content syncing. It appears in sync interfaces when synchronizing files, or in applications like backup systems when users need to sync data and ensure content consistency across devices.

From a data management perspective, the sync symbol communicates more than just 'update' - it specifically indicates bidirectional synchronization, the harmonization of data across systems, and the process of ensuring data consistency. This action helps users keep content synchronized across multiple locations.

Synchronize 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 SynchronizeIcon to components/icons/flat-color-icons-synchronize.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 SynchronizeIcon 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 Synchronize 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="Synchronize", so screen readers say what it does.

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

2 other libraries draw an icon called Synchronize. 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, cloud, sync, update and synchronize. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Synchronize in another set.
