Minimize Square Icon
minimize-square · Arrow Actions · 6 styles
Minimize Square is one of the glyphs Solar Icons ships inside its Arrow Actions set. It is one of 56 glyphs in that category and one of 1,246 icons in the library overall, each drawn on the same 24x24 grid so Minimize Square lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "minimize-square", and every style variant resolves from that single name.
Read literally, the shape signals collapsing to a smaller size and a square container that gives the glyph a consistent bounding box. That places Minimize Square in the Arrow Actions family, which covers actions expressed as motion — undo, refresh, transfer, sort and turns up in toolbars, data tables, sync indicators and file transfer dialogs. Teams building dashboards and admin panels where every row has an action reach for this set first. Use Minimize Square where the label alone would be ambiguous — an icon-only button, a dense table row, a mobile tab bar — and keep an accessible name on the control, because the SVG itself is decorative.
Minimize Square in 6 styles
Minimize Square has been redrawn for 6 style variants: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Bold gives you solid filled shapes that hold their weight at 16px and read clearly against coloured backgrounds. Bold Duotone gives you a filled body with a second, lower-opacity layer that adds depth without a second colour token. Linear gives you even 1.5px strokes, the neutral default for dense interfaces and toolbars. A common pairing is Bold for the selected state and Line Duotone for the rest, so the active item reads without a colour change.

Registration is explicit, which is what keeps the bundle small. Import MinimizeSquareBold from the "@rchernando/solar-icons/arrow-actions" entry point, hand it to provideSolarIcons in your application config or in a route-level providers array, and render it with the solar-icon component. All 6 exports for minimize-square live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.

- How do I use the minimize-square icon in Angular?
- Import MinimizeSquareBold from "@rchernando/solar-icons/arrow-actions", register it with provideSolarIcons(MinimizeSquareBold) and render <solar-icon name="minimize-square" iconStyle="bold" />. No HTTP request is made — the SVG is inlined at build time.
- Which styles does Minimize Square support?
