Gnu Privacy Guard

The GNU Privacy Guard icon features a stylized path representing a shield or a lock, likely symbolizing encryption and security. This icon originates from the GNU Privacy Guard, a free and open-source encryption software.

The GNU Privacy Guard icon appears in various contexts related to encryption and security, such as on the GNU Privacy Guard website itself, in email clients, and on software repositories.

From a UX perspective, the GNU Privacy Guard icon communicates a sense of security and encryption, helping users understand that the associated functionality or navigation item relates to protecting sensitive information.

Gnu Privacy Guard is one of 830 icons in CoreUI Brands, made by creativeLabs Łukasz Holeczek and released under CC0 1.0. It is drawn on a 32 × 32 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 GnuPrivacyGuardIcon to components/icons/cib-gnu-privacy-guard.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 GnuPrivacyGuardIcon 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 Gnu Privacy Guard icon, or any of 830 CoreUI Brands 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 32 × 32 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="Gnu Privacy Guard", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. GnuPrivacyGuardIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <GnuPrivacyGuardIcon 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.

CC0 1.0 puts the icons in the public domain: use them anywhere, with no conditions. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No. CC0 1.0 gives the icons to the public domain, so no credit and no notice is required. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI still start with a comment naming CoreUI Brands, creativeLabs Łukasz Holeczek and the license.

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

Its tags are lock, shield and encryption. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Gnu Privacy Guard in another set.
