Outline Chat

The ic-outline-chat icon represents a chat or conversation between two or more people. It originates from the Google Material Design library and is used to symbolize communication or dialogue. The chat icon is widely recognized and used in various contexts, including messaging apps, social media, and customer support.

In real-world applications, the chat icon appears in software and platforms related to messaging, social media, and customer support. For example, it may be used in apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, or Zendesk to represent a conversation or chat.

From a UX perspective, the chat icon communicates a sense of communication or interaction. It helps users understand that a particular feature or function enables conversation or dialogue. In interfaces, the chat icon can be used to indicate a 'chat' or 'message' option.

Outline Chat is one of 10,956 icons in Google Material Icons, made by Material Design Authors and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 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 OutlineChatIcon to components/icons/ic-outline-chat.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 OutlineChatIcon 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 Outline Chat icon, or any of 10,956 Google Material 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.

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="Outline Chat", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. OutlineChatIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <OutlineChatIcon 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. Apache 2.0 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: Apache 2.0 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 Google Material Icons, Material Design Authors and the license.

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

Its tags are icon, material, message, conversation, talk and dialog. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Outline Chat in another set.
