Zoom

The zoom icon represents a magnifying glass, a symbol commonly used to indicate the ability to enlarge or search for content. It originated in graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and is widely used in various digital applications. The zoom icon's significance lies in its universality, making it easily recognizable across different platforms and cultures.

In software and digital tools, the zoom icon appears in applications such as image editors like Adobe Photoshop, web browsers like Google Chrome, and document viewers like Adobe Acrobat. It allows users to enlarge or reduce content, making it easier to navigate and interact with digital information.

From a UX perspective, the zoom icon communicates the ability to explore content in more detail or to adjust the level of information displayed. It helps users understand that they can interact with the content in a more granular way, enhancing their overall experience.

Zoom 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 ZoomIcon to components/icons/typcn-zoom.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 ZoomIcon 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 Zoom 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="Zoom", so screen readers say what it does.

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