Overflow

The overflow icon represents a menu or list of additional options that are not immediately visible. This icon is commonly used in user interfaces to indicate that there are more choices or settings available. It originates from the need to declutter interfaces and provide users with easy access to secondary actions. The icon typically features an ellipsis or three horizontal lines, signifying a list or menu.

In software and digital products, the overflow icon appears in various contexts, such as in navigation bars, toolbars, or as part of a button group. For instance, in Figma or Notion, you might find this icon used to access additional design or formatting options. It's a versatile symbol that helps maintain a clean and organized interface while still providing users with the functionality they need.

From a UX perspective, the overflow icon effectively communicates to users that there are more options available beyond what's currently visible. This helps manage user expectations and prevents interface clutter. When users interact with the icon, they're presented with a clear and organized list of additional choices, making it easier for them to find what they need.

Overflow 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 OverflowIcon to components/icons/gg-overflow.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 OverflowIcon 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 Overflow 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="Overflow", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. OverflowIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <OverflowIcon 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, navigation, action, settings and menu. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Overflow in another set.
