About this icon

Use the Scissors icon

The Scissors icon from Pixel Art Icons fits naturally in rich text editors, design tools, image editors, drawing apps, content creation platforms, and creative suites. 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 Scissors icon stays pixel-perfect at 16px, 24px, 48px, and any large marketing size.

Design & UX integration

Aesthetic characteristics

Scissors 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

In editors and design tools, the Scissors 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 — Pixel Art Icons

npm install pixelarticons

<!-- Direct SVG import (recommended) -->
<img src="node_modules/pixelarticons/svg/scissors.svg" alt="scissors" width="24" height="24">

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