Scale

The scale icon represents a tool used for measuring distances or sizes, often used in contexts related to mapping, architecture, and engineering. The scale icon is a fundamental symbol in various industries, enabling accurate measurements and comparisons.

In software and platforms, the scale icon appears in applications related to graphic design, architecture, and engineering, such as CAD software, mapping tools, and graphic editors. It is also used in educational tools to teach students about measurement and scale.

From a UX perspective, the scale icon communicates a sense of precision and accuracy. It helps users understand that a feature or service is related to measurement or comparison, enabling them to make informed decisions.

Scale is one of 367 icons in Font-GIS, made by Jean-Marc Viglino and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 100 × 100 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 ScaleIcon to components/icons/gis-scale.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 ScaleIcon 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 Scale icon, or any of 367 Font-GIS 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 100 × 100 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="Scale", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. ScaleIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <ScaleIcon 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, with credit: CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author (Jean-Marc Viglino) where you use the icons. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

Yes. CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author where you use the icons, for example "Icons by Jean-Marc Viglino, CC BY 4.0" on an about or credits page.

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

8 other libraries draw an icon called Scale. 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 navigation, technology, tool, measurement, GIS and precision. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Scale in another set.
