Brush icon FAQ
What does this icon show?
Diagonal paintbrush with a pointed bristle tip, for brush tools, painting and freehand drawing. Typical uses: brush tool in a drawing toolbar, brush style setting in an image editor and art and illustration category tag.
When should I use it instead of a similar icon?
Use it for:
- The paint tool in a photo or drawing app, with size, hardness and opacity in its options bar
- Format painter buttons in a document editor that copy styling from a selection onto another
- Mask and retouch controls in a photo editor, where strokes land with soft edges
For thin hard lines and quick sketches on a whiteboard canvas, use the Pencil icon. For an appearance settings entry for picking theme and brand shades, use the Color Swatch icon. For a signature pad step where the signer draws their name by hand, use the Pen Nib icon.
Which styles does it come in?
4 styles: Outline, Solid, Duotone and Filled. Every style is drawn on the same 24 by 24 grid and installs as its own file, so you can switch styles without touching the layout.
How do I install it with the shadcn CLI?
Copy the install command from the panel above, in the style you want, and run it in your project. The shadcn CLI adds the icon as a React component that you import and render like any other. It draws in the current text color, so your text color and size classes style it. Icon installs need a ReUI Ultimate license.
What icons go well with it?
Eraser and Paint Bucket sit beside it in the same toolbar or menu. More from the same family and the Design set: Bezier Curve, Bucket, Bucket Square and Color Swatch.
When was it added?
It joined the ReUI icon library on June 30, 2026.
