Dots Square Icon

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

Use it for a more options control in toolbars and card headers whose other buttons sit in rounded tiles; and overflow triggers pinned to the corner of file, photo and template cards in a tile grid. For round buttons in a profile header or floating over a video tile, use the Dots Circle icon. For a bare trigger with no frame in a page header or wide toolbar, use the Dots Horizontal icon. For row menus in a narrow table column where the trigger stands upright, use the Dots Square Vertical icon.

Three horizontal dots inside a rounded square, for overflow menus, more options and card actions. Available in 4 styles (outline, solid, duotone and filled) as a React component you install with the shadcn CLI.

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?

Panel Left and Layout Columns sit beside it in the same toolbar or menu. More from the same family and the Layout set: Browser Swipe, Burger Menu, Category and Circles Four.

When was it added?

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