About this icon

Use the Arrow Back icon

Icons in the outline style — like Arrow Back — are designed for app navigation bars, toolbar buttons, form labels, and UI controls where clarity at 16–24px is critical. Use it across app menus, breadcrumbs, map interfaces, multi-step forms, pagination controls, and sidebar navigation for a consistent, professional look.

IconStash's editor lets you fine-tune color, size, and stroke width in real time, then export in the format that fits your workflow: SVG, PNG, JSX, or CSS background-mask.

Export formats

Copy clean SVG vectors with one click, generate custom-size PNG files from 16px to 512px, export JSX/React components ready to paste into your project, or use the icon as a CSS background-mask for flexible theming.

All exports are based on the same editable vector — so the Arrow Back icon stays pixel-perfect at 16px, 24px, 48px, and any large marketing size.

Design & UX integration

Aesthetic characteristics

Boxicons gives Arrow Back a slightly chunkier, more rounded treatment than most outline sets, and ships Regular, Solid and Logos variants. The Logos subset — brand marks redrawn to match the UI icons — makes it a practical single-dependency choice for marketing sites.

UX best practices

For headers, sidebars, footers and breadcrumbs, pair the Arrow Back icon with a text label wherever space allows. Icon-only navigation tests well only for a handful of universally understood actions; comprehension drops sharply once the destination is product-specific. Keep the icon at a fixed optical size so the menu does not appear to shift.

Use in your project

React / npm — Boxicons

npm install react-icons

import { BxArrowBack } from 'react-icons/bx';

// JSX usage:
<BxArrowBack size={24} />

Copy the SVG markup directly from the IconStash editor to use the Arrow Back icon without any npm package — paste it into HTML, JSX, or a design tool.
