Germs

The Germs icon represents microorganisms that can cause illness or disease. These tiny living things are found everywhere and can have a significant impact on human health. Understanding germs is crucial in the fields of medicine, biology, and public health.

In software and digital platforms, the Germs icon may appear in health and fitness apps, medical software, or educational tools focused on biology and microbiology. For example, it could be used in a mobile app that tracks hand hygiene or in an online course about infectious diseases.

From a UX perspective, the Germs icon communicates the idea of potential danger or risk, alerting users to take precautions or take action to prevent the spread of illness. It can also represent a concept or theme related to health and wellness.

Germs is one of 2,658 icons in IconPark Outline, made by ByteDance and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 48 × 48 grid with a 4 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 GermsIcon to components/icons/icon-park-outline-germs.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 GermsIcon 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 Germs icon, or any of 2,658 IconPark 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 48 × 48 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.

Germs is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 4. 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="Germs", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. GermsIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <GermsIcon 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 IconPark Outline, ByteDance and the license.

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

2 other libraries draw an icon called Germs. The Other libraries section on this page shows each one, so you can compare them and open the one that fits your style.

Its tags are medical, health, biology, disease and virus. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Germs in another set.
