FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What the Step Back icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The step back icon represents previous track navigation and backward skipping in media players. Featuring a backward-pointing triangle with a vertical bar, this symbol indicates skip-to-previous-track actions, the navigation control that moves playback to the beginning of the current or previous media item in playlists and albums.
In music players like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music, users tap this icon to skip to previous songs in playlists and albums. Audiobook applications implement it for chapter navigation, while podcast players such as Overcast and Pocket Casts display it for jumping to previous episodes in sequential listening queues.
The backward triangle with bar communicates more than navigation - it specifically represents discrete item jumping, the track-level navigation that distinguishes skipping from rewinding within content, and the playlist traversal that enables non-linear media consumption. This control helps users navigate media collections efficiently.
Step Back 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 StepBackIcon to components/icons/lucide-step-back.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 StepBackIcon 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: Step Back is `StepBackIcon` there, used as <StepBackIcon />. 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 Step Back 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.
Step Back 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="Step Back", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. StepBackIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <StepBackIcon 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 media, previous, track, backward, rewind and skip. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Step Back in another set.
