# reply icon Reply. Gentleface icon, drawn on the 16 px pixel grid. Free, MIT licensed. Page: https://gentleface.com/icons/reply - Category: Communication - Use it for: reply, respond, reply to - Tags: reply, respond, answer, mail, message, arrow, back - Family: forward, reply-all - Component name: ReplyIcon - Added: 2026-10-14 ## Alternatives - `reply-all`: reply to everyone - `message-thread`: reply in a thread ## Don't confuse with - `undo`: undo reverts the last action; it is not a reply ## Also fits - thread: reply directly (the bare action) ## Not for - enter key (use `corner-down-left`): reply answers a message; it is a curved arrow, not the return glyph ## 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. - line-round: https://gentleface.com/svg/line-round/16/reply.svg · PNG https://gentleface.com/png/line-round/16/reply.png · https://gentleface.com/png/line-round/32/reply.png · https://gentleface.com/png/line-round/48/reply.png - line-soft: https://gentleface.com/svg/line-soft/16/reply.svg · PNG https://gentleface.com/png/line-soft/16/reply.png · https://gentleface.com/png/line-soft/32/reply.png · https://gentleface.com/png/line-soft/48/reply.png - line-sharp: https://gentleface.com/svg/line-sharp/16/reply.svg · PNG https://gentleface.com/png/line-sharp/16/reply.png · https://gentleface.com/png/line-sharp/32/reply.png · https://gentleface.com/png/line-sharp/48/reply.png - solid-round: https://gentleface.com/svg/solid-round/16/reply.svg · PNG https://gentleface.com/png/solid-round/16/reply.png · https://gentleface.com/png/solid-round/32/reply.png · https://gentleface.com/png/solid-round/48/reply.png - solid-soft: https://gentleface.com/svg/solid-soft/16/reply.svg · PNG https://gentleface.com/png/solid-soft/16/reply.png · https://gentleface.com/png/solid-soft/32/reply.png · https://gentleface.com/png/solid-soft/48/reply.png - solid-sharp: https://gentleface.com/svg/solid-sharp/16/reply.svg · PNG https://gentleface.com/png/solid-sharp/16/reply.png · https://gentleface.com/png/solid-sharp/32/reply.png · https://gentleface.com/png/solid-sharp/48/reply.png The SVG of every style: https://gentleface.com/icons/reply.json (`svg`). ## Code (line-round) The snippets are decorative (aria-hidden).
