About this icon

Use the Arrow Left icon

The Arrow Left icon from Pixel Art Icons fits naturally in app menus, breadcrumbs, map interfaces, multi-step forms, pagination controls, and sidebar navigation. Its fill 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 Arrow Left icon stays pixel-perfect at 16px, 24px, 48px, and any large marketing size.

Design & UX integration

Aesthetic characteristics

Arrow Left is drawn on a strict pixel grid with hard edges and no curves that rely on anti-aliasing. That is the point: it stays crisp at exact multiples of its native size. It suits retro, game and terminal-inspired interfaces, and looks wrong if you scale it to arbitrary sizes.

UX best practices

For headers, sidebars, footers and breadcrumbs, pair the Arrow Left 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.
