Butterfly

The butterfly icon represents transformation and growth, often symbolizing change and development. It is commonly associated with beauty, freedom, and joy. The butterfly has been a popular motif in art and culture, representing the cycle of life and renewal.

In digital design, the butterfly icon can be used in various contexts, such as illustrating metamorphosis or freedom. It appears in software like Adobe Creative Cloud, symbolizing creativity and transformation.

From a UX perspective, the butterfly icon communicates lightness, playfulness, and approachability. It can be used to guide users through a process of change or transformation, making the experience more engaging and enjoyable.

Butterfly is one of 1,947 icons in IconPark TwoTone, 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 ButterflyIcon to components/icons/icon-park-twotone-butterfly.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 ButterflyIcon 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 Butterfly icon, or any of 1,947 IconPark TwoTone 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.

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

Yes. ButterflyIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <ButterflyIcon 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 TwoTone, ByteDance and the license.

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