Turn the download icon into a finished app icon or favicon: pick a background, a corner radius and a stroke weight, then download SVG, PNG or a full icon package.
Transfer to the user's device. The downward arrow into a tray is the convention; a cloud with an arrow implies remote storage.
Lucide's Download at 2px stroke. Drag the icon to reposition it, then download.

Action icons label something the user is about to do, which makes ambiguity expensive: an unlabelled icon that could mean two different actions will eventually be clicked by mistake. Upload and download, cut and copy, refresh and undo are all pairs that differ by a few pixels. As an app icon this class works well because action symbols are geometrically simple — arrows, ticks and crosses survive any downscaling — but the meaning is generic, so the mark relies on colour and container for identity.
The tray under the arrow can be confused with an underline. Keep the tray's vertical arms visible or drop it entirely.
Stroke weight is the control that matters most here. Lucide icons are drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 2px stroke, which means that when the icon is scaled down to 16px the stroke is effectively 1.33px — below one device pixel on a standard-density display. Raising the stroke to 2.5 or 3 before exporting keeps the shape solid; lowering it to 1.5 suits large app icons where a heavy stroke looks clumsy. The editor exposes this as a slider, so you can find the value that survives your smallest target size rather than guessing.
If you want the icon in a Vue project rather than as a downloaded asset, it is a named export of the lucide package:
import { Download } from 'lucide-vue-next'
<Download :size="24" :stroke-width="2" /> The download button above gives you something different: the icon composed onto a background with a corner radius, exported as a flat SVG path set. The exporter converts the icon out of its <foreignObject> wrapper first, because a foreign object taints an HTML canvas and would otherwise break PNG and ICO rasterisation.
Open the free editor to change the background, gradient, corner radius, icon size, rotation and stroke weight — then export SVG, PNG, ICO or a complete favicon package with manifest and HTML.
