Matches

The matches icon represents a match, a small stick used to produce fire. It symbolizes the concept of ignition and energy, highlighting the importance of matches in various contexts such as fire starting, chemistry, and science experiments. Matches are commonly used in laboratories and industries.

In software applications, the matches icon appears in chemistry and physics simulations, where users can model and experiment with chemical reactions. It is often used in conjunction with other scientific tools and instruments.

From a UX perspective, the matches icon communicates a sense of energy and experimentation, helping users understand that they can model and simulate chemical reactions. Its presence in an interface indicates that users can access scientific tools and resources.

Matches is one of 4,585 icons in Huge Icons, made by Hugeicons 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 MatchesIcon to components/icons/hugeicons-matches.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 MatchesIcon 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 Matches icon, or any of 4,585 Huge 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 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.

Matches 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="Matches", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. MatchesIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <MatchesIcon 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 Huge Icons, Hugeicons and the license.

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

Its tags are energy, science, chemistry, physics and experiment. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Matches in another set.
