Tearing

The tearing icon represents a symbol of intense emotional pain or distress. It features a stylized design that conveys a sense of anguish or torment. This icon is part of the Game Icons library, which provides a range of thematic icons for use in different contexts.

In real-world applications, the tearing icon can be used in digital products such as gaming platforms, mental health apps, or social media sites to represent intense emotional states or to provide emotional support. For example, a gaming platform might use this icon to indicate a section for emotional support or to represent a character's emotional state.

From a UX perspective, the tearing icon communicates intense emotional pain or distress. It helps users understand that the platform or application acknowledges and supports their emotional state. This icon can be used to create a safe and supportive environment for users to express their emotions.

Tearing is one of 4,123 icons in Game Icons, made by GameIcons and released under CC BY 3.0. 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 TearingIcon to components/icons/game-icons-tearing.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 TearingIcon 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 Tearing icon, or any of 4,123 Game Icons 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="Tearing", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. TearingIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <TearingIcon 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 3.0 asks you to credit the author (GameIcons) where you use the icons. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

Yes. CC BY 3.0 asks you to credit the author where you use the icons, for example "Icons by GameIcons, CC BY 3.0" 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 interface, design, game, emotion, thematic and pain. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Tearing in another set.
