Thumbs Up

The thumbs-up icon represents positive feedback and approval in rating and engagement systems. Featuring the upward-pointing thumb gesture, this symbol indicates like actions, upvotes, and the favorable feedback mechanisms essential for content promotion, quality signals, and user engagement across social media, e-commerce, and community platforms.

In social platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn, thumbs-up icons serve as the primary like button for content engagement and approval signaling. Community platforms including Reddit and Stack Overflow display it for upvoting valuable contributions, while recommendation systems such as Netflix and YouTube use like signals to personalize content recommendations and surface quality material to broader audiences.

From a social psychology perspective, the thumbs-up gesture communicates more than agreement—it represents social validation, the positive reinforcement that motivates content creators, signals quality to other users, and helps platforms identify valuable content through collective approval mechanisms that drive engagement and community building.

Thumbs Up 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 ThumbsUpIcon to components/icons/lucide-thumbs-up.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 ThumbsUpIcon 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: Thumbs Up is `ThumbsUpIcon` there, used as <ThumbsUpIcon />. 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 Thumbs Up 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.

Thumbs Up 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="Thumbs Up", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. ThumbsUpIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <ThumbsUpIcon 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.
