Megaphone Icon Generator

What the megaphone icon means

Announcements, marketing or broadcast. Implies one-to-many rather than conversation.

Communication icons are unusually stable across decades: the envelope, the telephone handset and the speech bubble have all survived the disappearance of the objects they depict. That stability is exactly what makes them good app icons — users decode them instantly, without a label, across every age group and market. The corollary is saturation. A green speech bubble or a blue envelope already belongs to someone, so pick a colour that is not already claimed in your category.

Where you will actually see it

Drawing the megaphone at 16 pixels

The cone plus handle plus sound lines is three elements. Drop the sound lines first; the cone carries the meaning.

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 { Megaphone } from 'lucide-vue-next'

<Megaphone :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.
