Frequently asked questions
What the Refresh icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The refresh icon represents a button or action to reload or refresh content. It is commonly used in user interfaces to indicate a reload or restart action. The refresh icon originates from the early days of computing, where reloading a page or restarting a process was a frequent action. In modern times, it remains a crucial element in user interfaces, indicating to users that they can retry or refresh the content.
The refresh icon appears in various software and platforms, including web browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge. It is also used in mobile apps, such as social media platforms, email clients, and file explorers. For instance, in a web browser, the refresh icon is often located in the address bar, allowing users to quickly reload a webpage.
From a UX perspective, the refresh icon communicates to users that they can retry or refresh the content. It helps users understand that an action can be retried or that new content is available. The refresh icon is often used in conjunction with other icons, such as loading animations, to indicate that data is being updated or reloaded.
Refresh is one of 636 icons in Vaadin Icons, made by Vaadin and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 16 × 16 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 RefreshIcon to components/icons/vaadin-refresh.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 RefreshIcon 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 Refresh icon, or any of 636 Vaadin Icons 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 16 × 16 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="Refresh", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. RefreshIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <RefreshIcon 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. Apache 2.0 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: Apache 2.0 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 Vaadin Icons, Vaadin and the license.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
