Remove Formatting

The remove formatting icon represents style clearing and plain text conversion in text editors and document applications. Featuring a stylized 'T' with a removal indicator, this symbol indicates format stripping, style removal, and the text cleanup operations that convert formatted content back to unstyled plain text for consistent editing.

In rich text editors like Microsoft Word and Google Docs, users encounter this icon when removing inherited formatting and clearing unwanted styles from copied content. Email clients including Gmail and Outlook implement it for cleaning pasted text formatting, while content management systems such as WordPress and Medium display it for stripping external styling from pasted content before publication.

From a content editing perspective, the removal design communicates more than simple style deletion - it specifically represents formatting hygiene, consistent styling workflows, and the cleanup operations that prevent formatting conflicts when combining content from multiple sources. This functionality helps editors maintain document consistency and visual coherence.

Remove Formatting 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.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds RemoveFormattingIcon to components/icons/lucide-remove-formatting.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 RemoveFormattingIcon 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.

Yes, if your project has lucide-react: Remove Formatting is `RemoveFormattingIcon` there, used as <RemoveFormattingIcon />. The shadcn.io MCP server answers with that import when it finds the package. Without it, copy the icon from here.

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 Remove Formatting icon, or any of 1,655 Lucide 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.

Remove Formatting 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="Remove Formatting", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. RemoveFormattingIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <RemoveFormattingIcon 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. 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.

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.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are text, remove, formatting, clear and cleanup. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Remove Formatting in another set.
