Turn the user 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.

A single person — an account, a profile, an author. Distinct from "users", which implies a group or team.
Person icons are the standard shorthand for identity and account, and the single-versus-multiple distinction carries real meaning: one figure means "you", several mean "them" or "us". They are also among the most abstracted shapes in any icon set — a circle on a rounded trapezoid — which makes them robust at small sizes but almost impossible to make distinctive. If you use one as a brand mark, expect the container and colour to do nearly all of the identifying work.
The gap between head and shoulders closes at small sizes and the icon becomes an amorphous blob. Widen the gap or add background contrast.
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 { User } from 'lucide-vue-next'
<User :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.
