About this icon
Use the Virtual Column Key icon
The Virtual Column Key icon (Carbon Icons) is categorized under Security. Its fill style is optimal for interface components and product UI 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 Virtual Column Key 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 Virtual Column Key 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
Security icons carry more weight than most: users read a lock, shield or key as a trust signal, so the Virtual Column Key icon should never be decorative. Place it next to the mechanism it actually describes — the payment step, the HTTPS indicator, the permission toggle — rather than in a generic header where it implies protection that may not exist.
Use in your project
React / npm — Carbon Icons
npm install @carbon/icons-react
import { VirtualColumnKey } from '@carbon/icons-react';
// JSX usage:
<VirtualColumnKey size={24} />Copy the SVG markup directly from the IconStash editor to use the Virtual Column Key icon without any npm package — paste it into HTML, JSX, or a design tool.
