Step Backward

The step-backward icon represents a media control button used to navigate to the previous step or track in a sequence. It is commonly used in audio and video players to rewind to the previous track or segment. This icon is part of the Material Design Icons library, which provides a wide range of icons for various applications. The step-backward icon is often used in conjunction with other media control icons, such as play, pause, and fast forward.

In software applications, the step-backward icon is often used in media players, such as VLC, YouTube, and Spotify. It is also used in digital audio workstations (DAWs) like Ableton Live and FL Studio to navigate through tracks and scenes. Additionally, the step-backward icon is used in video editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro to navigate through video clips and timelines.

From a UX perspective, the step-backward icon communicates the action of moving backward in a sequence, allowing users to easily navigate through content. It provides a clear and concise visual representation of the action, making it easy for users to understand and interact with.

Step Backward is one of 7,638 icons in Material Design Icons, made by Pictogrammers and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds StepBackwardIcon to components/icons/mdi-step-backward.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 StepBackwardIcon 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 Step Backward icon, or any of 7,638 Material Design 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.

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 Backward", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. StepBackwardIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <StepBackwardIcon 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. Apache 2.0 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: Apache 2.0 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 Material Design Icons, Pictogrammers and the license.

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