Pause Waves

The pause-waves icon represents a pause button with wave-like shapes, commonly used in media players to temporarily stop playback. It is often used in digital audio and video players, as well as in music streaming services.

In software applications, the pause-waves icon is frequently used in media control panels, allowing users to pause playback of audio or video content. This icon is also used in various digital platforms, including music streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music, as well as video streaming services like Netflix and YouTube.

From a UX perspective, the pause-waves icon effectively communicates the action of pausing or stopping playback, allowing users to easily control their media experience. The icon's simple and recognizable design makes it easily understandable, even in small sizes.

Pause Waves is one of 2,562 icons in Myna UI Icons, made by Praveen Juge and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 1.5 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 PauseWavesIcon to components/icons/mynaui-pause-waves.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 PauseWavesIcon 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 Pause Waves icon, or any of 2,562 Myna UI 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, and its stroke.

Pause Waves is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 1.5. 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="Pause Waves", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. PauseWavesIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <PauseWavesIcon 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. MIT 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: MIT 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 Myna UI Icons, Praveen Juge and the license.

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

Its tags are UI, interface, media, control, button and playback. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Pause Waves in another set.
