Head Circumference

The head-circumference icon represents a measurement of the human head, often used in medical or pediatric contexts to track growth and development. This icon can be used to illustrate a medical concept or to provide information about a person's health.

In real-world applications, this icon is often used in medical software, such as electronic health records (EHRs) or medical imaging platforms. It can also be found in educational materials, such as pediatric textbooks or online courses.

From a UX perspective, the head-circumference icon effectively communicates information related to human growth and development, allowing users to quickly understand complex medical concepts. Its recognizable design enables users to navigate interfaces with confidence.

Head Circumference is one of 2,691 icons in Health Icons, made by Resolve to Save Lives and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 48 × 48 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 HeadCircumferenceIcon to components/icons/healthicons-head-circumference.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 HeadCircumferenceIcon 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 Head Circumference icon, or any of 2,691 Health Icons 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 48 × 48 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="Head Circumference", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. HeadCircumferenceIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <HeadCircumferenceIcon 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 Health Icons, Resolve to Save Lives and the license.

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

Its tags are medical, health, human, science, growth and anatomy. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Head Circumference in another set.
