About this icon
Use the Parentheses icon
Icons in the outline style — like Parentheses — 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 Parentheses icon stays pixel-perfect at 16px, 24px, 48px, and any large marketing size.
Design & UX integration
Aesthetic characteristics
The Parentheses icon follows the Lucide design system: a 24x24 grid, 2px strokes, and rounded line caps and joins. Lucide started as a community fork of Feather Icons and keeps that restraint — each glyph is reduced to the fewest strokes that still read at 16px, with no fills and no decorative detail.
UX best practices
As a general interface glyph, the Parentheses 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 — Lucide
npm install lucide-react
import { Parentheses } from 'lucide-react';
// JSX usage:
<Parentheses size={24} color="#000" />
Copy the SVG markup directly from the IconStash editor to use the Parentheses icon without any npm package — paste it into HTML, JSX, or a design tool.
