Play Sharp

The play-sharp icon represents a media control button used to initiate playback of audio or video content. The sharp style provides a more defined and prominent visual cue compared to outline icons. This icon is essential in media players and applications where users need to access playback controls.

The play-sharp icon appears in various media players and software applications, including mobile apps like YouTube and desktop applications like Windows Media Player. Its design ensures that users can quickly identify and use the button to start playback.

From a UX perspective, the play-sharp icon effectively communicates the action of starting playback, providing a clear visual distinction from other media control buttons. The sharp style enhances visibility and usability, especially in applications with diverse interfaces.

Play Sharp is one of 1,342 icons in Famicons, made by Family and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 512 × 512 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 PlaySharpIcon to components/icons/famicons-play-sharp.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 PlaySharpIcon 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 Play Sharp icon, or any of 1,342 Famicons 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 512 × 512 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="Play Sharp", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. PlaySharpIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <PlaySharpIcon 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. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Famicons, Family and the license.

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