FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What the Pencil Line icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
What does the Pencil Line icon mean?
Featuring a pencil with an underline stroke, the pencil-line icon represents informal text marking and draft annotation functionality in document review and content editing workflows. This symbol combines the casual nature of pencil editing with specific line-based emphasis, indicating tools for highlighting, underlining, or marking important sections during the revision process.
Where is the Pencil Line icon used?
In educational platforms like Khan Academy and Coursera, this icon appears when students annotate course materials or highlight key concepts in digital textbooks. Document review tools including Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft Word implement it for markup modes and comment highlighting, while note-taking applications such as Obsidian and Roam Research display it for linking concepts and emphasizing connections between ideas.
What does the Pencil Line icon tell users?
The visual design communicates more than simple text decoration - it represents the iterative nature of learning, the informal process of marking important content, and the collaborative aspects of document review. This marking metaphor encourages active engagement with content, helping users process information through visual emphasis and personal annotation systems.
Which library is the Pencil Line icon from?
Pencil Line is one of 1,655 icons in Lucide, made by Lucide Contributors and released under ISC. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 2 stroke.
How do I install the Pencil Line icon with the shadcn CLI?
Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds PencilLineIcon to components/icons/lucide-pencil-line.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.
How do I use the Pencil Line icon in Next.js or React?
Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed PencilLineIcon 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.
Can I import the Pencil Line icon from lucide-react instead?
Yes, if your project has lucide-react: Pencil Line is `PencilLineIcon` there, used as <PencilLineIcon />. The shadcn.io MCP server answers with that import when it finds the package. Without it, copy the icon from here.
How do I use the Pencil Line icon in Vue, Svelte or Angular?
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.
Can my AI agent install the Pencil Line icon for me?
With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Pencil Line icon, or any of 1,655 Lucide icons, and install it from a prompt.
How do I change the color of the Pencil Line icon?
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.
How do I change the size of the Pencil Line icon?
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.
How do I change the stroke width of the Pencil Line icon?
Pencil Line 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.
Does the Pencil Line icon work in dark mode?
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.
How do I make the Pencil Line icon accessible?
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 Line", so screen readers say what it does.
Can I pass aria-hidden or aria-label to the Pencil Line icon?
Yes. PencilLineIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <PencilLineIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.
Can I download the Pencil Line icon as SVG or PNG?
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.
Can I use the Pencil Line icon in commercial projects?
Yes. ISC 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.
Do I have to credit the author of the Pencil Line icon?
No visible credit is required: ISC 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 Lucide, Lucide Contributors and the license.
Is the Pencil Line icon free?
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
