About this icon
Use the Pause Outline icon
The Pause Outline icon from Carbon Icons fits naturally in media players, streaming interfaces, audio controls, photo galleries, podcast apps, and video platforms. Its outline style makes it ideal for app navigation bars, toolbar buttons, form labels, and UI controls where clarity at 16–24px is critical.
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 Pause Outline icon stays pixel-perfect at 16px, 24px, 48px, and any large marketing size.
Design & UX integration
Aesthetic characteristics
Carbon is IBM's design system, and Pause Outline reflects its enterprise-first constraints: flat geometry, no gradients, and shapes that survive being shrunk into dense data grids. It is a common choice for regulated, data-heavy products where clarity outranks personality.
UX best practices
For media and audio-visual interfaces, place the Pause Outline icon prominently so it reads as a control rather than a label — playback, volume and cast affordances are scanned before they are read. Keep at least 3:1 contrast against the video surface and give it an accessible name, since media controls are frequently the only way to operate a player.
