FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What the Lifebuoy icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The lifebuoy icon represents help and customer support with its circular life preserver ring design. This assistance symbol has become the standard indicator for help centers, support resources, customer service access, and assistance features across all modern web applications and service platforms.
In modern applications like help center links or customer support access in platforms like Zendesk, you'll see this lifebuoy indicating support resources, help documentation, and assistance options. It appears in SaaS platforms where customer support requires clear visual indicators, or in application interfaces where help access needs explicit representation.
From a user support perspective, the lifebuoy design communicates more than simple help - it specifically indicates救助, emergency assistance, and the supportive nature of customer service and help resources. This distinction helps users recognize live support versus self-service documentation or automated help tools.
Lifebuoy 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 LifebuoyIcon to components/icons/heroicons-lifebuoy.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 LifebuoyIcon 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: Lifebuoy is `LifebuoyIcon` there, used as <LifebuoyIcon />. 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 Lifebuoy 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.
Lifebuoy 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="Lifebuoy", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. LifebuoyIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <LifebuoyIcon 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.
