About the Hourglass black outline icon
A classic hourglass with flat rectangular caps top and bottom, a pinched waist, and sand shown as a filled dome in the lower chamber with a hollow scoop left above. It communicates both elapsed and remaining time, which suits countdown timers, loading and processing states, booking deadlines, productivity apps and project schedule slides.
The frame is symmetrical around the narrow neck, and the two sand shapes invert each other so the passage of time reads at a glance. Pair it with calendar, stopwatch and alarm clock icons. For loading states, animate a slow rotation rather than adding more detail.
This is the black outline version of the hourglass 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.
