# x icon X. Gentleface icon, drawn on the 16 px pixel grid. Free, MIT licensed. Page: https://gentleface.com/icons/x - Category: Actions - Use it for: close, dismiss, cancel - Tags: close, times, cross - Component name: XIcon - Added: 2026-10-13 - Changed: 2026-10-15 (20 px drawn, 24 px drawn) ## Alternatives - `x-circle`: a clear or cancel button that stands alone, e.g. inside a field - `stop-circle`: stop a running process or generation ## Don't confuse with - `trash`: the trash motif does not mean dismiss ## Also fits - clear filter: remove one filter chip inside a filter bar - delete: remove from a list or dismiss without deleting the data - close menu: dismiss a menu or a dialog entirely (close) - clean up: clear a field, a list or a selection - clear: close or dismiss a panel or dialog - reject: a bare × beside an accept check, e.g. in track changes - exit: close a dialog, panel or tab ## Not for - multiply (use `multiply`): × as a close glyph means dismiss (close); multiply is drawn at operator size - error (use `alert-circle`): the x motif means close or dismiss, not error ## 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/x.svg · PNG https://gentleface.com/png/line-round/16/x.png · https://gentleface.com/png/line-round/32/x.png · https://gentleface.com/png/line-round/48/x.png - line-soft: https://gentleface.com/svg/line-soft/16/x.svg · PNG https://gentleface.com/png/line-soft/16/x.png · https://gentleface.com/png/line-soft/32/x.png · https://gentleface.com/png/line-soft/48/x.png - line-sharp: https://gentleface.com/svg/line-sharp/16/x.svg · PNG https://gentleface.com/png/line-sharp/16/x.png · https://gentleface.com/png/line-sharp/32/x.png · https://gentleface.com/png/line-sharp/48/x.png - solid-round: https://gentleface.com/svg/solid-round/16/x.svg · PNG https://gentleface.com/png/solid-round/16/x.png · https://gentleface.com/png/solid-round/32/x.png · https://gentleface.com/png/solid-round/48/x.png - solid-soft: https://gentleface.com/svg/solid-soft/16/x.svg · PNG https://gentleface.com/png/solid-soft/16/x.png · https://gentleface.com/png/solid-soft/32/x.png · https://gentleface.com/png/solid-soft/48/x.png - solid-sharp: https://gentleface.com/svg/solid-sharp/16/x.svg · PNG https://gentleface.com/png/solid-sharp/16/x.png · https://gentleface.com/png/solid-sharp/32/x.png · https://gentleface.com/png/solid-sharp/48/x.png The SVG of every style: https://gentleface.com/icons/x.json (`svg`). ## Code (line-round) The snippets are decorative (aria-hidden).
