FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What the Pause Outline icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The pause-outline icon represents a button with an outline to pause media playback. It is commonly used in audio and video players to temporarily stop playback. The icon's pause symbol clearly convey its purpose.
In software applications, the pause-outline icon appears in media players like VLC, YouTube, and Spotify. It is also used in mobile apps, such as Apple Music and Google Play Music.
From a UX perspective, the pause-outline icon effectively communicates the action of pausing media playback. It helps users understand that clicking the icon will temporarily stop the media, allowing them to resume playback later.
Pause Outline is one of 2,361 icons in IonIcons, made by Ben Sperry and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 512 × 512 grid with a 32 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 PauseOutlineIcon to components/icons/ion-pause-outline.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 PauseOutlineIcon 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 Pause Outline icon, or any of 2,361 IonIcons 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, and its stroke.
Pause Outline is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 32. 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="Pause Outline", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. PauseOutlineIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <PauseOutlineIcon 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 IonIcons, Ben Sperry and the license.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
