Square Outline

The square-outline icon represents a square shape with an outlined border, commonly used in design and UI elements. It is a basic geometric shape used to create visual balance and harmony. The outlined style gives it a subtle and minimalist look.

In software and platforms, square outlines are often used as buttons, containers, or frames to organize content. For example, in Figma or Notion, you might see square outlines used as design elements or interface components.

From a UX perspective, the square-outline icon communicates simplicity and minimalism, helping users understand that an element is a container or a frame. Its subtle outline makes it easy to distinguish from filled shapes.

Square Outline is one of 1,200 icons in Teenyicons, made by smhmd and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 15 × 15 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 SquareOutlineIcon to components/icons/teenyicons-square-outline.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 SquareOutlineIcon 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 Square Outline icon, or any of 1,200 Teenyicons 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 15 × 15 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="Square Outline", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. SquareOutlineIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <SquareOutlineIcon 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 Teenyicons, smhmd and the license.

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