# check icon

Check. Gentleface icon, drawn on the 16 px pixel grid. Free, MIT licensed. Page: https://gentleface.com/icons/check

- Category: Actions
- Use it for: done, confirm, ok, selected, mark as done, mark complete, apply, accept
- Tags: tick, success
- Family: check-double
- Component name: CheckIcon
- Added: 2026-10-13
- Changed: 2026-10-14 (20 px drawn, 24 px drawn)

## Alternatives

- `check-circle`: a success or completed status that reads alone
- `check-double`: all items done, or a message read
- `checkbox`: a checkbox the user toggles in a list or form

## Don't confuse with

- `thumbs-up`: thumbs-up means approve or like as feedback, not confirm a dialog

## Also fits

- all done: a single item done
- task complete: mark done on a task row, where the list already names the task
- copied: a bare check that replaces the copy icon in a tight button
- success: a bare check inline, e.g. done on a list row
- approve: approve a request or a review step

## Not for

- checkbox (use `checkbox`): check means done or approved, never selected
- finish line (use `flag-checkered`): finish = done or complete is a plain check
- checklist (use `checklist`): a bare check means done; a checklist is a list with check bullets

## Files

Each SVG is 16 × 16 with fill="currentColor". Keep it at 16 px or an exact multiple (32, 48) on whole pixels: a fractional size or position blurs it.

The SVG of every style: https://gentleface.com/icons/check.json (`svg`).

## Code (line-round)

The snippets are decorative (aria-hidden). For an icon that carries meaning on its own, such as an icon-only button, label the button, or give the SVG role="img" and an aria-label. For another style, take its SVG from the JSON and swap the path `d`.
