Turtle

The turtle icon represents speed control and performance throttling features in development and system configuration tools. Featuring the recognizable turtle silhouette, this symbol indicates slow mode settings, performance throttling, and the speed reduction controls essential for testing, debugging, and network simulation across development platforms.

In browser developer tools like Chrome DevTools and Firefox Developer Edition, users encounter this icon for network throttling and CPU slowdown during performance testing. Video editing applications such as Adobe Premiere implement it for slow-motion playback controls, while development tools display it for animation speed adjustment and execution throttling during debugging workflows.

From a testing perspective, the turtle symbol communicates intentional speed reduction, representing the controlled slowdown that reveals performance issues, timing bugs, and the testing conditions necessary for quality assurance. This deliberate icon helps developers simulate real-world constraints.

Turtle 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 TurtleIcon to components/icons/lucide-turtle.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 TurtleIcon 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: Turtle is `TurtleIcon` there, used as <TurtleIcon />. 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 Turtle 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.

Turtle 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="Turtle", so screen readers say what it does.

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

6 other libraries draw an icon called Turtle. The Other libraries section on this page shows each one, so you can compare them and open the one that fits your style.

Its tags are control, performance, testing, speed, debug and slow. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Turtle in another set.
