About this icon

Use the Backspace icon

The Backspace icon (Ionicons) is categorized under Interface. 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 Backspace icon stays pixel-perfect at 16px, 24px, 48px, and any large marketing size.

Design & UX integration

Aesthetic characteristics

Ionicons ships Backspace in Outline, Filled and Sharp variants. Sharp drops the rounded corners for a more angular look, which makes the set unusually flexible — the same icon can read as approachable or as technical depending on which variant you pick.

UX best practices

As a general interface glyph, the Backspace 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 — Ionicons

npm install @ionic/react ionicons

import { IonIcon } from '@ionic/react';
import { backspace } from 'ionicons/icons';

// JSX usage:
<IonIcon icon={backspace} style={{ fontSize: '24px' }} />

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