Maximize Alt

The maximize-alt icon represents an alternative way to maximize a window or screen. It is a variation of the maximize icon, used to provide an alternative visual representation of the maximize action. The maximize-alt icon is widely used in various software and platforms, including operating systems, web browsers, and desktop applications.

The maximize-alt icon appears in various software and platforms, including Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. For example, in web browsers like Mozilla Firefox, the maximize-alt icon is used to expand the browser window to its full size, and in desktop applications like Adobe Photoshop, the maximize-alt icon is used to maximize the application window.

From a UX perspective, the maximize-alt icon communicates the concept of expansion or full-screen mode, providing an alternative visual cue to the standard maximize icon. It helps users understand the functionality of a UI element and navigate through complex interfaces.

Maximize Alt 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 MaximizeAltIcon to components/icons/gg-maximize-alt.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 MaximizeAltIcon 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 Maximize Alt 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="Maximize Alt", so screen readers say what it does.

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

Its tags are UI, interface, action, screen, window and fullscreen. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Maximize Alt in another set.
