Dots Grid Icon

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

Use it for the app launcher in a product header that opens a panel of the company's other apps, and product switchers in admin consoles that list every tool a team can open. For a dotted canvas background in a whiteboard or diagram editor, use the Dots Nine icon. For a dial pad toggle on a phone calling screen, use the Dots Grid Square icon. For a grip that moves rows or cards by press and hold, use the Drag icon.

Nine dots in an evenly spaced three by three grid with no frame, for app launchers, app switchers and grid menus. Available in 4 styles (outline, solid, duotone and filled) as a React component you install with the shadcn CLI.

Dots Grid icon FAQ

What does this icon show?

Nine dots in an evenly spaced three by three grid with no frame, for app launchers, app switchers and grid menus. Typical uses: app launcher trigger in a header, workspace switcher menu and grid view toggle.

When should I use it instead of a similar icon?

Use it for:

The app launcher in a product header that opens a panel of the company's other apps
Product switchers in admin consoles that list every tool a team can open

For a dotted canvas background in a whiteboard or diagram editor, use the Dots Nine icon. For a dial pad toggle on a phone calling screen, use the Dots Grid Square icon. For a grip that moves rows or cards by press and hold, use the Drag 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?

Menu and Dots Vertical sit beside it in the same toolbar or menu. More from the same family and the Layout set: Dots Grid Square, Grid Four, Grid Nine and Parcel Grid.

When was it added, and what was it called before?

It joined the ReUI icon library on June 30, 2026. It was previously named burger-menu-3, and that install name still resolves to this icon.
