Frequently asked questions
What the Key icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The key icon represents a physical or symbolic key used for unlocking or accessing something. It symbolizes access, security, and control. The key icon has its roots in physical security and locking mechanisms, where it is used to represent a device for unlocking or securing. The icon is often used to convey a sense of protection or safety.
In software and digital platforms, the key icon is commonly used in security and authentication applications, such as login systems, password managers, or access control software. It's also used in e-commerce platforms, like payment gateways or checkout processes. The key icon can be used to represent a security feature or access control mechanism.
From a UX perspective, the key icon communicates access, security, and control. It helps users understand that a product or service provides secure access or authentication. This icon can be used to represent a feature or function that provides security or access control.
Key is one of 2,658 icons in IconPark, made by ByteDance and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 48 × 48 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 KeyIcon to components/icons/icon-park-key.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 KeyIcon 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 Key icon, or any of 2,658 IconPark icons, and install it from a prompt.
It's multicolor, so it keeps its own colors.
Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 48 × 48 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.
Yes. It keeps its own colors in light and dark mode, so check it against both backgrounds. 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="Key", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. KeyIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <KeyIcon 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. Apache 2.0 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: Apache 2.0 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 IconPark, ByteDance and the license.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
