FAQ
Answered from pause's own facts: its shelf, the weights it was drawn in, its siblings and its dates.
- What is the pause icon for?
- Two upright bars, for holding playback, suspending a job and freezing a state. It is filed under Media in Keyline Icons, drawn on the same 24×24 grid as the rest of the set. People look for it as hold, suspend, break, halt, freeze, media and player, and the browser's search matches all of those.
- What styles does the pause icon come in?
- All three: stroke, duotone and fill. They are drawn from the same geometry, so swapping weight never moves anything.
- Is there a square or circle version of pause?
- Yes. The same drawing is also boxed, as square-pause and circle-pause. Each is its own icon with its own name.
- What other icons go with pause?
- audio-lines, camera, camera-off, captions, cast and circle-play, and 12 more, all shown below. They are the Media shelf: nothing else in the set is named after pause.
- How do I import pause in React?
- <Pause /> is the component, and the weight decides the module: stroke from "@keyline-icons/react", duotone from "@keyline-icons/react/duotone" and fill from "@keyline-icons/react/fill". It takes the usual SVG props plus a size, so <Pause size={16} /> and className="size-4" both work, and there is no provider or theme to set up.
- Where is the pause SVG?
- icons/stroke/pause.svg, icons/duotone/pause.svg and icons/fill/pause.svg in the repository, normalised: no wrapper, no ids and no classes to strip out. The tabs above hand you the same drawing as SVG or JSX without the download, and neither needs an install.
- When was pause added to the set?
- Added 12 Aug 2026, and last redrawn 26 Aug 2026. It ships in v0.1.0, so an install at that version or later has it.
Questions about the set rather than about this drawing are answered where they belong. The home page covers what the set is, how the three styles differ, why some icons come boxed and where the Figma file is; installing the set in a shadcn/ui project covers the React package, the CLI and using an icon without React. The MIT licence is stated in the footer of every page.
