AWS Icons

Adding an icon

There are two ways to add icons to your Mermaid Chart diagrams:

• Referencing the icon code in the Mermaid syntax.
• Using the visual editor's icon picker.

Icon code

To use an AWS icon in your Mermaid Chart diagram, you can reference it by its code. The code for each icon is in the format icon "aws:icon_code", where icon_code is the specific code for the AWS icon you want to use.

For example, to use the "Arch-alexa-for-business" icon, you would write: icon: "aws:arch-alexa-for-business".

    n1["example"]
    n1{ icon: "aws:arch-alexa-for-business"}

Architecture diagrams

For architecture diagrams, the code for each icon is in the format aws:architecture:icon_code.

architecture-beta
    group api(cloud)[API]

    service db(aws:arch-alexa-for-business)[Example] in api
    service disk1(disk)[Storage] in api
    service disk2(disk)[Storage] in api
    service server(server)[Server] in api

    db:L -- R:server
    disk1:T -- B:server
    disk2:T -- B:db

Visual editor

If you're using the visual editor, you can select the icon option from the toolbar. Click on the default icon to bring up the icon picker, where you can search for and select AWS icons. The icon picker is the canonical way to browse the full set.

Browse the icon set

Open the Mermaid Chart visual editor and use the icon picker's AWS tab to browse all supported AWS icons, or see the official AWS icon reference.
