Time Backward

The Vaadin time-backward icon represents a rewind or reverse action, often used in media playback or timeline navigation. It symbolizes moving backward in time or reversing a process. The icon is part of the Vaadin Icons library, which provides a wide range of icons for various applications.

In media players, video editing software, or timeline-based applications, time-backward icons like this one are commonly used to navigate to previous points in a sequence. For example, in music streaming services like Spotify or Apple Music, users can rewind to previous tracks or parts of a track.

From a UX perspective, the time-backward icon communicates that a user can move backward in time or reverse a process, providing a visual cue for navigating to previous states or points in a sequence. It helps users understand the available actions and navigate interfaces efficiently.

Time Backward is one of 636 icons in Vaadin Icons, made by Vaadin and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 16 × 16 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 TimeBackwardIcon to components/icons/vaadin-time-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 TimeBackwardIcon 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 Time Backward icon, or any of 636 Vaadin 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 16 × 16 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="Time Backward", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. TimeBackwardIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <TimeBackwardIcon 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 Vaadin Icons, Vaadin and the license.

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

Its tags are navigation, media, control, time, playback and rewind. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Time Backward in another set.
