About this icon

Use the Code icon

Icons in the fill style — like Code — are designed for interface components and product UI. Use it across document management systems, admin panels, file explorers, CMS dashboards, cloud storage UIs, and PDF viewers 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 Code icon stays pixel-perfect at 16px, 24px, 48px, and any large marketing size.

Design & UX integration

Aesthetic characteristics

Code is drawn on a strict pixel grid with hard edges and no curves that rely on anti-aliasing. That is the point: it stays crisp at exact multiples of its native size. It suits retro, game and terminal-inspired interfaces, and looks wrong if you scale it to arbitrary sizes.

UX best practices

In file explorers, document lists and CMS dashboards, put the Code 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 — Pixel Art Icons

npm install pixelarticons

<!-- Direct SVG import (recommended) -->
<img src="node_modules/pixelarticons/svg/code.svg" alt="code" width="24" height="24">

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