About this icon

Use the Pencil icon

The Pencil icon from Boxicons fits naturally in rich text editors, design tools, image editors, drawing apps, content creation platforms, and creative suites. Its bold style makes it ideal for interface components and product UI.

Open it in IconStash to set stroke color via presets or a custom hex value, choose an exact pixel size (16–512px), control stroke width (0.1–3px), and preview against dark, light, or checkered backgrounds before downloading.

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 Pencil icon stays pixel-perfect at 16px, 24px, 48px, and any large marketing size.

Design & UX integration

Aesthetic characteristics

Boxicons gives Pencil 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

In editors and design tools, the Pencil icon belongs in a toolbar where it can carry a tooltip and a keyboard-shortcut hint. Keep editing affordances visually lighter than the content they act on; when the chrome competes with the canvas, users lose track of their own work.

Use in your project

React / npm — Boxicons

npm install react-icons

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

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

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