About this icon

Use the Pause Bold icon

The Pause Bold icon (Phosphor) is categorized under Media. Its bold style is optimal for interface components and product UI 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 Pause Bold icon stays pixel-perfect at 16px, 24px, 48px, and any large marketing size.

Design & UX integration

Aesthetic characteristics

Phosphor draws Pause Bold 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

For media and audio-visual interfaces, place the Pause Bold icon prominently so it reads as a control rather than a label — playback, volume and cast affordances are scanned before they are read. Keep at least 3:1 contrast against the video surface and give it an accessible name, since media controls are frequently the only way to operate a player.

Use in your project

React / npm — Phosphor

npm install phosphor-react

import { PauseBold } from 'phosphor-react';

// JSX usage:
<PauseBold size={24} weight="regular" />

Copy the SVG markup directly from the IconStash editor to use the Pause Bold icon without any npm package — paste it into HTML, JSX, or a design tool.
