Replace

The replace icon represents find-and-replace functionality and text substitution operations in editors and development tools. Featuring an arrow pointing to a replacement target, this symbol indicates text replacement, string substitution, and the search-and-replace capabilities essential for efficient bulk editing and content transformation workflows.

In text editors like VS Code and Sublime Text, users encounter this icon when accessing find-and-replace dialogs and performing bulk text substitutions. Word processors including Microsoft Word and Google Docs implement it for document-wide text replacement, while code refactoring tools display it for variable renaming and codebase-wide string updates during development and maintenance.

From an editing efficiency perspective, the replacement arrow communicates more than simple text swapping - it specifically represents bulk editing power, systematic content transformation, and the productivity gains achieved through automated substitution versus manual individual changes. This functionality dramatically reduces editing time for repetitive content updates.

Replace is one of 1,655 icons in Lucide, made by Lucide Contributors and released under ISC. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 2 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 ReplaceIcon to components/icons/lucide-replace.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 ReplaceIcon 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 lucide-react: Replace is `ReplaceIcon` there, used as <ReplaceIcon />. 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 Replace icon, or any of 1,655 Lucide 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.

Replace is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 2. 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="Replace", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. ReplaceIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <ReplaceIcon 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. ISC 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: ISC 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 Lucide, Lucide Contributors and the license.

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

4 other libraries draw an icon called Replace. 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 text, search, find, change and swap. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Replace in another set.
