Forward Outlined

The forward-outlined icon represents content forwarding and message sharing features in modern applications. This outlined forward design communicates message forwarding, content sharing, and forwarding actions, making it ideal for messaging apps, email clients, and sharing systems where content forwarding and message sharing need clear visual recognition across communication and sharing interfaces.

In modern applications like Gmail or WhatsApp, you'll see this icon indicating forward functionality and message sharing features. It appears in email clients when forwarding messages, in messaging apps when sharing content, or in social platforms like Twitter and LinkedIn where outlined forward icons indicate content forwarding and message sharing actions.

From a communication perspective, the outlined treatment communicates more than simple forwarding - it specifically indicates available sharing, message distribution options, and the propagation nature of content forwarding displays. This standard appearance helps users identify forward functionality and content sharing features within messaging and communication systems.

Forward Outlined is one of 830 icons in Ant Design Icons, made by HeskeyBaozi and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 1024 × 1024 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds ForwardOutlinedIcon to components/icons/ant-design-forward-outlined.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 ForwardOutlinedIcon 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 Forward Outlined icon, or any of 830 Ant Design 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 1024 × 1024 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

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="Forward Outlined", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. ForwardOutlinedIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <ForwardOutlinedIcon 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 Ant Design Icons, HeskeyBaozi and the license.

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

Its tags are message, content, email, share, outlined and forward. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Forward Outlined in another set.

Ant Design Icons draws many icons in several styles: Filled and Twotone next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see Forward Outlined's siblings in it.
