About this icon

Use the Hourglass Empty icon

Icons in the light style — like Hourglass Empty — are designed for subtle decorative accents, secondary labels, light-themed dashboards, and minimal product pages. Use it across calendar apps, scheduling tools, time-tracking platforms, project management dashboards, and productivity suites 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 Hourglass Empty icon stays pixel-perfect at 16px, 24px, 48px, and any large marketing size.

Design & UX integration

Aesthetic characteristics

Hourglass Empty is the 300-weight cut of Material Symbols — the lightest weight in the variable font. Light weight reads as refined at large sizes, but it loses contrast on dark backgrounds and at 16px, so it suits spacious, light-themed layouts better than dense toolbars.

UX best practices

Time, calendar and scheduling icons tend to appear in dense grids. Keep the Hourglass Empty icon at a fixed size so rows stay aligned, and always pair it with the actual date or duration — an icon cannot disambiguate time zones, date formats or relative ranges like "next Tuesday".
