Hand Thumb Up

The thumbs up icon represents positive feedback and approval with its upward-pointing thumb gesture design. This universal symbol has become the standard indicator for like actions, upvoting features, positive ratings, and approval expressions across all modern social media platforms and content engagement systems.

In modern applications like Facebook's like button or content voting in Reddit, you'll see this thumbs up indicating positive reactions, upvote actions, and approval expressions. It appears in engagement platforms like LinkedIn where endorsements require clear visual indicators, or in recommendation systems where positive feedback guides content discovery algorithms.

From a user engagement perspective, the thumbs up design communicates more than simple positivity - it specifically indicates content appreciation, quality signals, and the social nature of approval in community-driven platforms. This distinction helps users recognize engagement mechanisms versus passive viewing or neutral browsing.

Hand Thumb Up is one of 1,288 icons in HeroIcons, made by Refactoring UI Inc and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 1.5 stroke.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds HandThumbUpIcon to components/icons/heroicons-hand-thumb-up.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 HandThumbUpIcon 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.

Yes, if your project has @heroicons/react/24/outline: Hand Thumb Up is `HandThumbUpIcon` there, used as <HandThumbUpIcon />. The shadcn.io MCP server answers with that import when it finds the package. Without it, copy the icon from here.

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 Hand Thumb Up icon, or any of 1,288 HeroIcons 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, and its stroke.

Hand Thumb Up is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 1.5. Change it in Customize before you copy, or pass strokeWidth to the installed component when all of its strokes share one width.

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="Hand Thumb Up", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. HandThumbUpIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <HandThumbUpIcon 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 HeroIcons, Refactoring UI Inc and the license.

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