About this icon

Use the Envelope icon

Icons in the outline style — like Envelope — are designed for app navigation bars, toolbar buttons, form labels, and UI controls where clarity at 16–24px is critical. Use it across general-purpose product UIs, design systems, component libraries, web applications, and marketing sites 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 Envelope 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 Envelope 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

As a general interface glyph, the Envelope icon does its job best between 16px and 24px, sitting next to a text label. Icon-only treatments work for a small set of universally understood actions, but comprehension falls off quickly once the action is specific to your product — so when in doubt, add the word.

Use in your project

React / npm — Heroicons

npm install @heroicons/react

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

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

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