Stop (Film) Free Icons | Vector Assets

From Dynamic to Static. The Symbol of “Complete End” and “Reset”

A design where a “solid square (stop mark)” is placed as if to forcefully cut off the movement of the “film strip” symbolizing the flow of time. While pause is “an interruption on the premise of resuming,” this stop means a “complete end” or “reset to the initial state.” It is the most basic UI element that visually conveys the “completion” of a single process, such as the state where the playback of video content has finished or the action of completely stopping camera recording.

Specific Usage Scenes and Suggested Applications

This material is active in any scene where you want to clearly indicate an “end,” from the control panel of a video player to the final slide of a presentation.

• For “UI Design” of Video Players and Websites: Ideal as the standard “stop button” lined up with the play button and pause button on embedded videos of your own site or YouTube-style video players. By clicking this button, the user expects actions such as “the video returns to the beginning” or “the playback screen closes.” Having the film decoration intuitively conveys the function of “stopping the video” better than a mere square shape, improving the usability of the UI.
• For the “Stop Recording” Button of Video Editing Software and Camera Apps: As an action button for “ending shooting and saving the file” on the shooting screen of a video camera or screen recording apps. The combination of a red circle (REC mark) during recording and this square mark (STOP) when stopping is a universal language in video equipment. It becomes an important navigation for users to finish shooting reliably without getting lost.
• For the “End” Slide of Presentations and Demo Videos: As decoration for the final slide indicating that all content has ended in slideshow-style presentation materials or product demonstration videos. By prominently placing this icon along with text like “This concludes the video,” you send a clear end signal to the viewer and smoothly switch to the next action (such as Q&A or guiding to a website).
• For Expressing “Process Abort / Cancel” in Business Systems and Tools: It can be used as an icon for a button that “completely aborts (cancels)” an ongoing task, such as long batch processing or data uploads, not just video. Because it conveys the strong nuance that the work will be discarded or restarted from the beginning, unlike “pause,” it has the effect of prompting careful operation from the user.
• As a Mark Indicating “Completion of Procedure” in Blog Articles and Manuals: As a “Finish” mark indicating that all steps have ended in articles explaining software operation procedures or cooking recipes. Because the film icon represents a “series of flows” and the square mark represents a “full stop,” you can visually produce a sense of achievement that the work is complete.

Editing Tips and the Merits of the EPS Format

Completely free for both commercial and personal use. In addition to PNG and SVG that can be used immediately on the web, EPS data that is easy to process according to the design is also available as a set.

By utilizing the EPS format (vector data), you can freely arrange the design of the stop mark (square). Using software like Adobe Illustrator, changing the color of the square to an attention-grabbing “red” results in a design that emphasizes urgency and certainty, which is often seen on stop recording buttons.
Also, by graying out the film part and making only the square stand out, you can leave a stronger impression of the static state that “the video is no longer flowing.”
