Add

The add icon represents a button or action to add or create something new. It is commonly used in user interfaces to indicate the ability to add or create new items, such as adding a new user, creating a new file, or adding a new product. The add icon is often used in software applications, websites, and mobile apps to provide a clear and consistent visual cue for users to interact with. The icon's design is simple and intuitive, making it easily recognizable across different platforms and devices.

In real-world applications, the add icon appears in various software and platforms, such as project management tools like Trello, Asana, and Jira, where users can add new tasks or projects. It is also commonly used in e-commerce platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce, and Magento, where users can add new products or manage inventory. Additionally, the add icon is used in social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, where users can add new posts or updates.

From a UX perspective, the add icon communicates the idea of creation, addition, or expansion. It helps users understand that they can add or create something new, and it provides a clear call-to-action for users to interact with. The add icon can be used in various contexts, such as adding a new item to a list, creating a new account, or adding a new feature to a product.

Add is one of 207 icons in Gridicons, made by Automattic and released under GPL 2.0. 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 AddIcon to components/icons/gridicons-add.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 AddIcon 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 Add icon, or any of 207 Gridicons 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="Add", so screen readers say what it does.

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

GPL 2.0 is copyleft: what you ship with the icons may have to use the same license. Check it fits your project first. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

Keep the GPL 2.0 notice with the icons, and credit Automattic as it asks. GPL 2.0 is copyleft, so what you ship with them may have to use the same license.

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