Frequently asked questions
What the Compress icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The compress icon represents the action of reducing the size or scale of an object or content, often used in digital interfaces for zooming or resizing. This icon originates from Google's Material Symbols library and is categorized under Material design. The compress icon signifies the ability to compact or shrink content.
In real-world applications, this icon may appear in image or video editing software, presentation tools, or document editors where users need to resize or compress content. It could also be used in interface design elements, such as buttons or menus, to indicate the action of compressing or zooming.
From a UX perspective, this icon communicates the functionality of reducing size or scale, helping users understand how to interact with digital content. The compress icon provides a clear visual representation of the action, making it easier for users to navigate interfaces.
Compress is one of 15,862 icons in Material Symbols, made by Google 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 CompressIcon to components/icons/material-symbols-compress.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 CompressIcon 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 Compress icon, or any of 15,862 Material Symbols 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="Compress", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. CompressIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <CompressIcon 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 Material Symbols, Google and the license.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
