User

The user icon represents a person or a user's profile, often used in digital interfaces to indicate a user's account, settings, or profile information. It originates from the Typicons library, designed by Stephen Hutchings. This icon is universally recognized as a symbol for user profiles or accounts.

In software and digital platforms, the user icon appears in various contexts, such as user account management, profile settings, or social media platforms. For instance, it is often used in apps and websites related to user authentication, account settings, or profile customization.

From a UX perspective, the user icon effectively communicates the intention of accessing user-related information, allowing users to quickly understand the functionality of the icon. Its clear and concise design ensures that users can easily navigate interfaces and engage with content.

User is one of 336 icons in Typicons, made by Stephen Hutchings and released under CC BY-SA 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 UserIcon to components/icons/typcn-user.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 UserIcon 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 User icon, or any of 336 Typicons 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="User", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. UserIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <UserIcon 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, with conditions: CC BY-SA 4.0 asks you to credit the author (Stephen Hutchings), and icons you change must use the same license. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

Yes. CC BY-SA 4.0 asks you to credit Stephen Hutchings, and icons you change must be shared under the same license.

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

8 other libraries draw an icon called User. The Other libraries section on this page shows each one, so you can compare them and open the one that fits your style.

Its tags are UI, interface, symbol, profile, avatar and account. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for User in another set.

Typicons draws many icons in several styles: Outline next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see User's siblings in it.
