Waves Outline

The waves-outline icon represents a wave or ocean wave symbol with an outlined style, often used to indicate dynamic or fluid concepts in a more subtle way. It originates from natural wave patterns. Its significance lies in providing a less prominent yet still noticeable symbol for dynamic or fluid features.

In software and digital platforms, the waves-outline icon appears in design and creative applications, such as graphic design or music platforms, often in situations where a softer approach is needed. For example, it might be used in Adobe Creative Cloud or SoundCloud to represent dynamic or fluid features without being too prominent.

From a UX perspective, the waves-outline icon communicates a sense of movement and fluidity in a more muted way, helping users understand dynamic concepts and interactions. It aids in navigation by providing a visually engaging and recognizable symbol in a subtle manner.

Waves Outline 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 WavesOutlineIcon to components/icons/typcn-waves-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 WavesOutlineIcon 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 Waves Outline 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="Waves Outline", so screen readers say what it does.

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