Blank Alt

The blank-alt icon represents an alternative blank or empty space, often used as a placeholder or to indicate the absence of content in a different context. It originates from the need to provide a neutral visual element in user interface design. This icon is significant in UI design as it helps create a clean and minimalistic aesthetic.

In software applications like graphic design tools, text editors, or digital art software, the blank-alt icon appears as a default state or placeholder. For instance, in design tools like Sketch or InVision, users might see this icon when creating a new, empty project.

From a UX perspective, this icon communicates the absence of content or the need for user input in a specific context. It aids in navigation by providing a clear visual cue for users to understand the current state of the interface, enhancing their overall experience.

Blank Alt is one of 1,544 icons in Lets Icons, made by Leonid Tsvetkov and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 2 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 BlankAltIcon to components/icons/lets-icons-blank-alt.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 BlankAltIcon 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 Blank Alt icon, or any of 1,544 Lets 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 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.

Blank Alt is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 2. 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="Blank Alt", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. BlankAltIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <BlankAltIcon 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 4.0 asks you to credit the author (Leonid Tsvetkov) where you use the icons. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

Yes. CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author where you use the icons, for example "Icons by Leonid Tsvetkov, CC BY 4.0" 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 UI, interface, design, simple, minimal and clean. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Blank Alt in another set.

Lets Icons draws many icons in several styles: Light, Duotone, Fill and Line next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see Blank Alt's siblings in it.
