Line Chart Icon Generator

What the line chart icon means

A trend over time. Implies continuity, where a bar chart implies discrete comparison.

Chart icons are built from thin lines and narrow gutters, which makes them one of the weakest classes at small sizes. A three-bar chart with equal gutters becomes a solid rectangle at 16 pixels, and a line chart with axes becomes a smudge. If you need a data icon as a brand mark, use fewer elements than feels right — two bars rather than four, a trend line without axes — and consider filling the shapes rather than outlining them.

Where you will actually see it

• time-series dashboards
• metric detail views
• app icons for monitoring and trading apps

Drawing the line chart at 16 pixels

A thin polyline inside axes is very fragile. Drop the axes and keep a thick trend line with a clear peak.

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 { ChartLine } from 'lucide-vue-next'

<ChartLine :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.
