App Window Expand

The app-window-expand icon represents the action of expanding or maximizing a window or application. This icon is often used in graphical user interfaces to allow users to toggle between fullscreen and windowed modes.

In real-world applications, the app-window-expand icon appears in various operating systems, such as Windows, macOS, or Linux, as well as in desktop applications, like video players, image viewers, or text editors. It is commonly used to provide users with a quick way to switch between different display modes.

From a UX perspective, the app-window-expand icon communicates the idea of expanding or maximizing content. When users see this icon, they understand that they can switch to a larger or more immersive display mode. This icon helps users navigate to the desired display mode.

App Window Expand is one of 1,000 icons in Freehand free icons, made by Streamline and released under CC BY 4.0. 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 AppWindowExpandIcon to components/icons/streamline-freehand-app-window-expand.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 AppWindowExpandIcon 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 App Window Expand icon, or any of 1,000 Freehand free icons 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="App Window Expand", so screen readers say what it does.

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