FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What the Pencil icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The pencil icon represents a writing or drawing tool, often associated with creativity, editing, and productivity. The pencil is a universal symbol for creating and modifying content.
In software and digital platforms, the pencil icon appears in a wide range of applications, from word processing software like Microsoft Word to graphic design tools like Adobe Illustrator. For example, a note-taking app like Evernote might use a pencil icon to represent the 'new note' feature.
From a UX perspective, the pencil icon communicates the ability to create, edit, or modify content. When used in a digital interface, it can help users quickly identify interactive elements or navigate to a section of a website focused on content creation.
Pencil is one of 1,970 icons in IconPark Solid, made by ByteDance and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 48 × 48 grid with a 4 stroke.
Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds PencilIcon to components/icons/icon-park-solid-pencil.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 PencilIcon 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 Pencil icon, or any of 1,970 IconPark Solid 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 48 × 48 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.
Pencil is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 4. Change it in Customize before you copy, or pass strokeWidth to the installed component when all of its strokes share one width.
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="Pencil", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. PencilIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <PencilIcon 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 Solid, ByteDance and the license.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
