Information

The information icon represents a symbol used to provide additional details or insights about a particular topic or situation. It is often used in various contexts to indicate that more information is available. The icon is commonly used in help sections, tutorials, or support pages.

In software applications, the information icon is frequently used to provide users with additional context or clarification about a specific feature or function. For instance, in a settings menu, an information icon might be used to explain the purpose of a particular setting or option. Similarly, in a tutorial or guide, the icon might be used to highlight important information or provide additional resources.

From a UX perspective, the information icon helps users understand the functionality of a particular element or feature. It communicates that there is more information available, encouraging users to explore and learn more. The icon can also be used to reduce anxiety or confusion by providing clear and concise information.

Information is one of 304 icons in Material Design Light, made by Pictogrammers and released under Open Font License. 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 InformationIcon to components/icons/mdi-light-information.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 InformationIcon 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 Information icon, or any of 304 Material Design Light 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="Information", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. InformationIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <InformationIcon 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. The Open Font License allows commercial use; the icons can't be sold on their own. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: Open Font License 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 Design Light, Pictogrammers and the license.

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

8 other libraries draw an icon called Information. 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 information, support, help, guide, knowledge and tutorial. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Information in another set.
