About this icon

Use the Key icon

Icons in the outline style — like Key — are designed for app navigation bars, toolbar buttons, form labels, and UI controls where clarity at 16–24px is critical. Use it across login and authentication flows, permission management panels, privacy settings, VPN apps, and security dashboards for a consistent, professional look.

IconStash's editor lets you fine-tune color, size, and stroke width in real time, then export in the format that fits your workflow: SVG, PNG, JSX, or CSS background-mask.

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

Design & UX integration

Aesthetic characteristics

Feather is the library Lucide forked from, and Key carries the shared DNA: a 24x24 grid, 2px strokes, rounded caps. With only 286 icons the set is deliberately curated and no longer growing, which is precisely why its internal consistency is unusually tight.

UX best practices

Security icons carry more weight than most: users read a lock, shield or key as a trust signal, so the 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 — Feather

npm install react-feather

import { Key } from 'react-feather';

// JSX usage:
<Key size={24} color="#000" />

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

The Feather Key icon follows this visual convention throughout the Feather design system.

Can I change the Key icon's color and size before downloading?
