Format Text

The format-text icon represents a text formatting option, often used in text editing tools to change the style or appearance of text. It is commonly used to apply various font styles, sizes, or colors to selected text.

In software applications like Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or Notion, the format-text icon is used to access various text formatting options, such as font family, size, or color. This icon is essential in providing users with a range of text formatting options.

From a UX perspective, the format-text icon communicates that users can modify the appearance of text to suit their needs, helping them to create visually appealing content. It also aids in creating a clear and concise visual representation of edited text.

Format Text is one of 704 icons in css.gg, made by Astrit and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 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 FormatTextIcon to components/icons/gg-format-text.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 FormatTextIcon 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 Format Text icon, or any of 704 css.gg 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 24 × 24 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="Format Text", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. FormatTextIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <FormatTextIcon 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 css.gg, Astrit and the license.

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