About this icon
Use the Container 16 icon
This outline icon from Octicons works well across general-purpose product UIs, design systems, component libraries, web applications, and marketing sites. The outline visual style is specifically suited for app navigation bars, toolbar buttons, form labels, and UI controls where clarity at 16–24px is critical.
Customize it in IconStash: pick a color preset or enter any hex code, set exact dimensions, adjust stroke weight, then copy SVG code or download a PNG — no account needed.
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 Container 16 icon stays pixel-perfect at 16px, 24px, 48px, and any large marketing size.
Design & UX integration
Aesthetic characteristics
Octicons is GitHub's own icon set, so Container 16 is tuned for the density of GitHub's interface — small default sizes, tight shapes, and silhouettes that stay identifiable at 16px. That makes it a reliable baseline for developer tooling, code review screens and anything code-adjacent.
UX best practices
As a general interface glyph, the Container 16 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 — Octicons
npm install @primer/octicons-react
import { Container16Icon } from '@primer/octicons-react';
// JSX usage:
<Container16Icon size={24} />Copy the SVG markup directly from the IconStash editor to use the Container 16 icon without any npm package — paste it into HTML, JSX, or a design tool.
