Swap

The swap icon represents a exchange or trade of two things, symbolizing a transfer or switch of assets. It is often used in finance and cryptocurrency applications to indicate a swap or exchange of currencies. The swap icon is commonly used in software and digital design to facilitate transactions.

In real-world applications, the swap icon appears in cryptocurrency exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, or Kraken, which allow users to exchange or trade cryptocurrencies. It is also used in finance and banking applications, such as PayPal or TransferWise.

From a UX perspective, the swap icon communicates a sense of exchange or transfer. It helps users understand that they can switch or trade assets, and can be used to facilitate transactions.

Swap is one of 430 icons in System UIcons, made by Corey Ginnivan and released under Unlicense. It is drawn on a 21 × 21 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 SwapIcon to components/icons/system-uicons-swap.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 SwapIcon 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 Swap icon, or any of 430 System UIcons 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 21 × 21 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.

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="Swap", so screen readers say what it does.

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

System UIcons is released under Unlicense. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No. Unlicense gives the icons to the public domain, so no credit and no notice is required. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI still start with a comment naming System UIcons, Corey Ginnivan and the license.

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