Play black filled icon

About the Play black filled icon

A right-pointing triangle with softly rounded corners sits centered inside a thin circle, its tip reaching toward the right edge and its flat back aligned on the left. The shape is the universal cue to start playback, so it drops straight into video players, podcast and music apps, course platforms, product demo overlays and presentation controls.

The triangle is optically centered rather than geometrically centered, so it looks balanced inside the ring instead of drifting left. The matching stroke weight lets it sit beside pause, stop, skip and record icons in one control bar. Scale it to at least 44px when it acts as a tap target.

This is the solid black filled version of the play icon: a bold silhouette that reads clearly at 16-24 px and on dark or busy backgrounds, and prints well in one colour.

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.
