Compress black outline icon

About the Compress black outline icon

A thick downward arrow pushes into two nested curved lines that bow under the pressure, with a solid straight line beneath acting as the ground. The drawing communicates compression, shock absorption, cushioning and reduced size. Suited to file compression tools, mattress and footwear product pages, packaging and material spec sheets, engineering diagrams and performance settings screens.

The two arcs sit close together with even spacing, so the gap between them and the flat baseline suggests a soft layer being squeezed. The arrow is the heaviest element and anchors the center. It pairs with expand, weight and layers icons. Keep it wide rather than square, and use 32 px or more so both arcs stay visible.

This is the black outline version of the compress icon: even, monoline strokes that stay crisp at small sizes and suit clean, minimal interfaces, wireframes and light backgrounds.
