About this icon

Use the Brush icon

The Brush icon from Material Symbols fits naturally in rich text editors, design tools, image editors, drawing apps, content creation platforms, and creative suites. Its fill style makes it ideal for interface components and product UI.

Open it in IconStash to set stroke color via presets or a custom hex value, choose an exact pixel size (16–512px), control stroke width (0.1–3px), and preview against dark, light, or checkered backgrounds before downloading.

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

Design & UX integration

Aesthetic characteristics

Brush belongs to Google's Material Symbols, which replaces static icon files with a variable font. Weight, Fill, Grade and Optical Size are all adjustable axes, so one file covers what used to need five. Optical Size is the most useful: the glyph is subtly redrawn for small sizes rather than just scaled down.

UX best practices

In editors and design tools, the Brush icon belongs in a toolbar where it can carry a tooltip and a keyboard-shortcut hint. Keep editing affordances visually lighter than the content they act on; when the chrome competes with the canvas, users lose track of their own work.
