About this icon

Use the Pencil Simple icon

The Pencil Simple icon (Phosphor) is categorized under Editing. Its outline style is optimal for app navigation bars, toolbar buttons, form labels, and UI controls where clarity at 16–24px is critical and scales cleanly from 16px to 512px.

Use the IconStash detail panel to preview with a custom background, adjust stroke width, and generate production-ready SVG or PNG files without any external tools.

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

Design & UX integration

Aesthetic characteristics

Phosphor draws Pencil Simple with a uniform stroke weight and generous curves. Its defining feature is a six-weight system — Thin, Light, Regular, Bold, Fill and Duotone — so one concept can carry an entire visual hierarchy without you switching icon families mid-product.

UX best practices

In editors and design tools, the Pencil Simple 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 — Phosphor

npm install phosphor-react

import { PencilSimple } from 'phosphor-react';

// JSX usage:
<PencilSimple size={24} weight="regular" />

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