Share Icon Generator

Turn the share 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.

Distribute to other people or services. Three connected nodes is the Android convention; the iOS box-with-arrow is different.

What the share icon means

Distribute to other people or services. Three connected nodes is the Android convention; the iOS box-with-arrow is different.

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.

Where you will actually see it

  • share sheets on posts and articles
  • referral and invite flows
  • app icons for social and syndication tools

Drawing the share at 16 pixels

Three small circles connected by thin lines is fragile. The lines vanish first, leaving three unexplained dots.

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 { Share2 } from 'lucide-vue-next'

<Share2 :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.

Pair the share with a letter

An icon and a letter in the same mark is a common lockup — the letter carries the brand, the icon carries the category. The editor lets you position both independently on the same canvas.

Build your share icon set

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.
