FAQ
Answered from square-pause's own facts: its shelf, the weights it was drawn in, its siblings and its dates.
- What is the square-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 square-pause icon come in?
- All three: stroke, duotone and fill. They are drawn from the same geometry, so swapping weight never moves anything.
- How is square-pause different from pause?
- square-pause is the same drawing inside a square. The bare glyph is pause, and it is also boxed as circle-pause.
- What other icons go with square-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 square-pause in React?
- <SquarePause /> 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 <SquarePause size={16} /> and className="size-4" both work, and there is no provider or theme to set up.
- Where is the square-pause SVG?
- icons/stroke/square-pause.svg, icons/duotone/square-pause.svg and icons/fill/square-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 square-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.
