- Category: Audio & video
- Use it for: fast forward, ffwd

- Added: 2026-10-15

## Alternatives

- `skip-forward`: jump to the next track (next-track)
- `seek-forward`: jump ahead a fixed number of seconds (seek-forward)

## Don't confuse with

- `chevrons-right`: double chevrons page forward or jump to the end (jump-forward), not media

## Also fits

- seek forward: scan forwards while held (fast-forward)
- next track: scan forwards within a track (fast-forward)
- fast: fast-forward in playback

## Not for

- jump forward (use `chevrons-right`): fast-forward is the media control, a double filled triangle (fast-forward)

## 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/fast-forward.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`.
