Squares Plus 16 Solid

The squares-plus icon represents grid expansion and layout addition with its grid design featuring a plus symbol. This expansion indicator has become essential for showing add widget features, grid expansion, new panel creation, and layout additions across all modern dashboard builders and workspace applications.

In modern applications like home screen customization or widget creators in platforms like iOS Widgets, you'll see this squares-plus indicating widget addition, home customization, and screen expansion. It appears in customization interfaces where widget creation requires clear visual cues, or in home screen systems where addition features need explicit representation.

From a widget perspective, the squares-plus design communicates more than addition - it specifically indicates widget creation, screen customization, and the personal nature of home additions versus app installation. This distinction helps users recognize widget features versus app downloads.

Squares Plus 16 Solid is one of 1,288 icons in HeroIcons, made by Refactoring UI Inc and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 16 × 16 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 SquaresPlus16SolidIcon to components/icons/heroicons-squares-plus-16-solid.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 SquaresPlus16SolidIcon 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/16/solid: Squares Plus 16 Solid is `SquaresPlusIcon` there, used as <SquaresPlusIcon />. 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 Squares Plus 16 Solid 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 16 × 16 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="Squares Plus 16 Solid", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. SquaresPlus16SolidIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <SquaresPlus16SolidIcon 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.

Its tags are grid, add, panel, expand, plus and widget. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Squares Plus 16 Solid in another set.

HeroIcons draws many icons in several styles: Solid next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see Squares Plus 16 Solid's siblings in it.
