Bxs Pen

The bxs-pen icon represents a pen or writing instrument, symbolizing the act of writing, editing, or creating content. It features a stylized shape representing a pen, indicating the creation or modification of information. This symbol originates from the need to visually represent content creation or editing processes in digital interfaces.

In real-world applications, this icon appears in text editors, writing apps, and content creation tools where writing or editing is a key feature. For example, in writing platforms like Medium or Ghost, this icon might be used to signify writing or editing actions.

From a UX perspective, this icon communicates the concept of content creation or modification, helping users understand the action of writing or editing. This can enhance the user experience by providing a clear visual cue for accessing writing or editing features.

Bxs Pen is one of 1,609 icons in BoxIcons, made by Atisa and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds BxsPenIcon to components/icons/bx-bxs-pen.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed BxsPenIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Bxs Pen icon, or any of 1,609 BoxIcons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Bxs Pen", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. BxsPenIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <BxsPenIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes, with credit: CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author (Atisa) where you use the icons. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

Yes. CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author where you use the icons, for example "Icons by Atisa, CC BY 4.0" on an about or credits page.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are edit, create, write and pen. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Bxs Pen in another set.
