Pair of handcuffs joined by a short chain, each ring showing a keyhole
About the Handcuffs black outline icon
Two thick wrist rings hang at a diagonal, joined by a short two-link chain, with a small keyhole dash on each lock housing and the ratchet arm visible where it enters the body. It is direct shorthand for arrest and detention, fitting crime news sections, police and legal service sites, court reporting graphics, prison documentaries and security training material.
The lower cuff is drawn larger and closer to the viewer, which gives depth without shading, while the double-stroke rings keep the opening clearly hollow. Pair it with badge, gavel and jail cell icons; the keyholes close up below 32 px, so reach for the filled style at small sizes.
This is the black outline version of the handcuffs icon: even, monoline strokes that stay crisp at small sizes and suit clean, minimal interfaces, wireframes and light backgrounds.
It downloads free as an SVG vector or transparent PNG in seven sizes, and the free online editor lets you recolor it, apply gold, silver, neon and gradient styles, add animation, or convert it to EPS, PDF and DXF.
