About this icon
Use the Books icon
The Books icon (Phosphor) is categorized under Files. Its outline style is optimal for app navigation bars, toolbar buttons, form labels, and UI controls where clarity at 16–24px is critical 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 Books icon stays pixel-perfect at 16px, 24px, 48px, and any large marketing size.
Design & UX integration
Aesthetic characteristics
Phosphor draws Books with a uniform stroke weight and generous curves. Its defining feature is a six-weight system — Thin, Light, Regular, Bold, Fill and Duotone — so one concept can carry an entire visual hierarchy without you switching icon families mid-product.
UX best practices
In file explorers, document lists and CMS dashboards, put the Books icon immediately to the left of the filename so the eye scans one straight line. If it triggers a destructive action, keep a confirmation step — a delete or archive glyph is too easy to hit by accident in a dense list.
Use in your project
React / npm — Phosphor
npm install phosphor-react
import { Books } from 'phosphor-react';
// JSX usage:
<Books size={24} weight="regular" />Copy the SVG markup directly from the IconStash editor to use the Books icon without any npm package — paste it into HTML, JSX, or a design tool.
