Cross Icon

Q: When should I use it instead of a similar icon?

Use it for close buttons in the top corner of dialogs, sheets and popovers; dismiss controls on toasts, banners and removable filter chips; and clear buttons at the end of a search field, shown once it holds a value. For a bold wrong answer mark in a quiz or a reject button in a swipe queue, use the Cross Outline icon. For an error or failed status on a field, upload or background job, use the Cross Circle icon. For deleting a record for good, where the data is gone afterwards, use the Trash icon.

Bare X of two crossing diagonal strokes, for closing dialogs, dismissing items and clearing input. Available in 4 styles (outline, solid, duotone and filled) as a React component you install with the shadcn CLI.

Cross icon FAQ

What does this icon show?

When should I use it instead of a similar icon?

Use it for:

Close buttons in the top corner of dialogs, sheets and popovers

For a bold wrong answer mark in a quiz or a reject button in a swipe queue, use the Cross Outline icon. For an error or failed status on a field, upload or background job, use the Cross Circle icon. For deleting a record for good, where the data is gone afterwards, use the Trash icon.

Which styles does it come in?

4 styles: Outline, Solid, Duotone and Filled. Every style is drawn on the same 24 by 24 grid and installs as its own file, so you can switch styles without touching the layout.

How do I install it with the shadcn CLI?

Copy the install command from the panel above, in the style you want, and run it in your project. The shadcn CLI adds the icon as a React component that you import and render like any other. It draws in the current text color, so your text color and size classes style it. Icon installs need a ReUI Ultimate license.

What icons go well with it?

Exit Right Corner and Copy sit beside it in the same toolbar or menu. More from the same family and the Actions set: Arrow Down Wide Narrow, Arrow Up Wide Narrow, Backspace and Bookmark.

When was it added?

It joined the ReUI icon library on June 30, 2026.
