Build Icon Generator

What the build icon means

Building, construction or a build process. In CI contexts it means compilation rather than carpentry.

Tool icons signal maintenance, configuration or building, and in software they have drifted away from their literal meanings — a wrench now usually opens a settings panel rather than fixing anything. They are angular and mostly solid, which makes them reasonably robust at small sizes, but their identifying features are often small notches and openings. A wrench with a closed jaw or a screwdriver without a tip reads as a plain diagonal bar.

Where you will actually see it

• construction and trades listings

Drawing the build at 16 pixels

The head and handle form an angled T. Robust overall, but keep the head clearly wider than the handle.

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.

Using it in code

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 { Hammer } from 'lucide-vue-next'

<Hammer :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.
