Minus Square Light

The minus-square-light icon represents a minus sign within a square, often used for subtraction or deletion actions. This icon is commonly used in digital interfaces to denote removal or decrease. It is part of the Phosphor Icons library, designed for user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) applications.

In software and digital platforms, the minus-square-light icon appears in various contexts, such as in calculators, data tables, and file management systems. For instance, in spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets, this icon is used to delete rows or columns. In design tools like Figma or Sketch, it might be used to remove elements from a design canvas.

From a UX perspective, the minus-square-light icon effectively communicates the action of subtraction or removal. It helps users understand that clicking on this icon will result in a decrease or deletion of an item. This clarity in communication enhances user experience by making interfaces more intuitive.

Minus Square Light is one of 9,161 icons in Phosphor, made by Phosphor Icons and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 256 × 256 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 MinusSquareLightIcon to components/icons/ph-minus-square-light.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 MinusSquareLightIcon 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 @phosphor-icons/react: Minus Square Light is `MinusSquare` there, used as <MinusSquare weight="light" />. 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 Minus Square Light icon, or any of 9,161 Phosphor 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 256 × 256 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="Minus Square Light", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. MinusSquareLightIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <MinusSquareLightIcon 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. MIT 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: MIT 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 Phosphor, Phosphor Icons and the license.

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