Bars Scale

The bars-scale icon represents a loading animation where vertical bars pulse by scaling in height sequentially. This rhythmic vertical movement creates a wave-like pattern that effectively communicates active processing through continuous height variation.

In data visualization tools and analytics platforms like Tableau or Chart.js implementations, you'll see this scaling bar animation during chart rendering and data computation. It appears in histogram generation and bar chart loading where the scaling bars thematically align with the bar chart visualizations being loaded.

From a data visualization perspective, the scaling bars communicate more than just loading status - they specifically indicate data processing, chart computation, and statistical analysis operations. The vertical scaling pattern visually previews bar chart content while providing loading feedback.

Bars Scale is one of 46 icons in SVG Spinners, made by Utkarsh Verma and released under MIT. 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 BarsScaleIcon to components/icons/svg-spinners-bars-scale.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 BarsScaleIcon 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 Bars Scale icon, or any of 46 SVG Spinners 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="Bars Scale", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. BarsScaleIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <BarsScaleIcon 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 SVG Spinners, Utkarsh Verma and the license.

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

Its tags are data, analytics, chart, loading, vertical and scale. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Bars Scale in another set.
