About this icon
Use the Key icon
The Key icon (Tabler Icons) is categorized under Security. 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 Key icon stays pixel-perfect at 16px, 24px, 48px, and any large marketing size.
Design & UX integration
Aesthetic characteristics
The Key icon is drawn to Tabler's house rules: a 24x24 grid, a 2px stroke, and a deliberately open counter — the enclosed white space inside the shape. Tabler optimises for coverage and consistency across 6,300+ glyphs rather than individual flourishes, which is why it holds up in dense admin and dashboard layouts.
UX best practices
Security icons carry more weight than most: users read a lock, shield or key as a trust signal, so the Key icon should never be decorative. Place it next to the mechanism it actually describes — the payment step, the HTTPS indicator, the permission toggle — rather than in a generic header where it implies protection that may not exist.
