Frequently asked questions
What the Key icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The key icon represents a symbol used to signify access, unlock, or authentication in various digital interfaces. It is commonly used in UI/UX design to indicate actions related to unlocking or securing content. The key icon originates from the physical representation of a key used to unlock doors or other secured objects.
The key icon is widely used in software applications, platforms, and tools to denote actions such as unlocking features, accessing secured areas, or setting up authentication. For instance, it can be seen in password managers like LastPass, authentication services like Google Authenticator, or software like Adobe Creative Cloud.
From a UX perspective, the key icon communicates the idea of security and access. It helps users understand that certain actions require authentication or authorization. The icon's presence can reassure users that their data is protected and that they need to take specific steps to access it.
Key is one of 200 icons in Stickies color icons, made by Streamline and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 41 × 41 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 KeyIcon to components/icons/streamline-stickies-color-key.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 KeyIcon 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 Key icon, or any of 200 Stickies color icons icons, and install it from a prompt.
It's multicolor, so it keeps its own colors.
Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 41 × 41 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.
Yes. It keeps its own colors in light and dark mode, so check it against both backgrounds. 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="Key", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. KeyIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <KeyIcon 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, with credit: CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author (Streamline) where you use the icons. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.
Yes. CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author where you use the icons, for example "Icons by Streamline, CC BY 4.0" on an about or credits page.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
