Chevron Vertical

The chevron-vertical icon represents bidirectional vertical controls, height adjustment features, and up-down navigation in resizable and scrollable interfaces. Featuring paired chevrons pointing up and down, this icon is commonly used to indicate vertical resizing, content expansion/collapse toggle, panel height adjustment, and bidirectional vertical movement in split views, data tables, and responsive layouts.

In modern applications like resizable panel height controls in development tools, table sorting direction indicators showing ascending/descending options, vertical content expanders in accordion interfaces, or split pane height adjusters in editor applications, you'll see this vertical chevron pair representing up-down interactivity. It appears in resizable horizontal dividers allowing users to adjust panel heights, in table headers for bidirectional sort controls, or in content expanders where both expand and collapse actions are possible.

From a vertical control perspective, the vertical chevron pair communicates more than just 'move up or down' - it specifically indicates bidirectional height control, the ability to navigate or adjust in both vertical directions, and the interactive affordance for height-based manipulation or up-down content browsing. This directionality clarity helps users understand they have control over vertical space and can adjust content visibility in either direction.

Chevron Vertical is one of 458 icons in Akar Icons, made by Arturo Wibawa and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 2 stroke.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds ChevronVerticalIcon to components/icons/akar-icons-chevron-vertical.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed ChevronVerticalIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Chevron Vertical icon, or any of 458 Akar Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.

Chevron Vertical is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 2. Change it in Customize before you copy, or pass strokeWidth to the installed component when all of its strokes share one width.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Chevron Vertical", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. ChevronVerticalIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <ChevronVerticalIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Akar Icons, Arturo Wibawa and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are navigation, resize, expand, vertical, chevron and bidirectional. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Chevron Vertical in another set.
