About this icon

Use the Bars 4 icon

The Bars 4 icon (Heroicons) is categorized under Data. 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 Bars 4 icon stays pixel-perfect at 16px, 24px, 48px, and any large marketing size.

Design & UX integration

Aesthetic characteristics

Heroicons is made by the Tailwind CSS team, and Bars 4 shows it: geometry tuned to sit on Tailwind's spacing scale and to stay legible at 16px, 20px and 24px. Every icon ships in both outline and solid, so you can change style without changing size or re-aligning anything.

UX best practices

In dashboards and reports, the Bars 4 icon should be subordinate to the number or chart it labels. Hold data icons to one size and a single colour from your chart palette; using them as decoration rather than as labels is exactly what makes analytics screens feel noisy and hard to read.

Use in your project

React / npm — Heroicons

npm install @heroicons/react

import { Bars4Icon } from '@heroicons/react/24/outline';

// JSX usage:
<Bars4Icon className="h-6 w-6 text-gray-700" />

Copy the SVG markup directly from the IconStash editor to use the Bars 4 icon without any npm package — paste it into HTML, JSX, or a design tool.
