About the Open Book black outline icon
An open book shows two facing pages curving up from a central spine, with the cover edges visible beneath them, all set inside a thin circular frame. It signals reading, study, documentation and knowledge in general. Works well on e-learning platforms, library and bookstore sites, help center and documentation headers, blog or article cards, and school presentation slides.
The page curves are mirrored either side of the spine so the book reads as genuinely open rather than flat, and the generous gap to the outer ring makes it work as a badge or button face. Pair it with graduation cap, bookmark and notebook icons. The ring adds visual weight, so give it more room than a bare book glyph.
This is the black outline version of the open book 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.
