About the Person Reading Open Book black outline icon
A simple figure — a circle head above rounded shoulders — sits behind a wide open book held up in both hands, the pages fanning down to a centre crease. It communicates reading, studying, literacy and self-directed learning. Suitable for library catalogs, e-learning course cards, school and tutoring websites, reading-challenge apps, and slides about research or staff training.
The composition is symmetric: the head circle, the dome of the shoulders and the twin page curves repeat the same arc, with small clasps marking the covers. Pair it with bookshelf, graduation cap and notebook icons; keep it at 24 px or larger so the page gap stays visible.
This is the black outline version of the person reading 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.
