# Edit animated icon

> Edit animated icon with a hover interaction for React and shadcn/ui. Download the Lottie JSON or SVG, free under MIT.

Edit is a 2 s micro animation from the action set that plays on hover and reverses on mouse leave, like Edit 2 and Edit 3. Its static SVGs cover the edit-2 and edit states, so the resting icon still shows which one is active. Also known as pencil, write and rename.

## FAQ

### Does Edit finish its animation after mouse leave?

It reverses from the frame it reached back to the start, so a quick pass of the pointer gives a short nudge rather than the full 2 s. Keyboard focus plays it as well; a tap on a touch screen does not.

### Is Edit decorative?

By default it is aria-hidden. Pass aria-label="Edit" to announce it as an image, or leave it hidden when the link or button it sits in has its own text.

### Can Edit play on click instead?

Yes: pass interaction="click-replay". It then replays once from the start on every click unless reduced motion is preferred.
