About the Reading Person Open Book black outline icon

A figure with a circular head and rounded shoulders sits behind a wide open book held up at chest level, the two pages splayed out with a clasp tab on each outer edge. It communicates reading, studying, learning and literacy. Use it in e-learning platforms, library catalog pages, school and course websites, reading-tracker apps and book club or hobby sections.

The book is drawn larger than the figure and overlaps the torso, which makes reading the action, not the person, the focus of the icon. The clasp tabs at both page edges add a bound-volume detail. It pairs with book, graduation cap and student icons. Keep it at 32 px or above so the page split stays visible.

This is the black outline version of the reading person 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.
