Magnifying Glass Circle

The magnifying glass circle icon represents a search or investigation tool, commonly used in applications to denote a search function. It originates from the traditional magnifying glass used for searching or examining things closely. This icon signifies a way to explore or look up information.

In software and digital platforms, the magnifying glass circle icon often appears in search bars or fields where users can input queries to find specific information. For example, it's widely seen in web browsers, file explorers, and applications like Adobe Creative Cloud or Notion.

From a UX perspective, the magnifying glass circle icon communicates the functionality of searching or finding something within an interface. It helps users understand that they can look for specific information or items.

Magnifying Glass Circle is one of 385 icons in HeroIcons v1 Outline, 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 MagnifyingGlassCircleIcon to components/icons/heroicons-outline-magnifying-glass-circle.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 MagnifyingGlassCircleIcon 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 Magnifying Glass Circle icon, or any of 385 HeroIcons v1 Outline 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.

Magnifying Glass Circle 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="Magnifying Glass Circle", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. MagnifyingGlassCircleIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <MagnifyingGlassCircleIcon 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 v1 Outline, Refactoring UI Inc and the license.

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