Paper Clip Outlined

The paper-clip-outlined icon represents file attachments and document linking in communication and file management applications. Featuring an outlined paperclip design, this universal symbol is used for file attachment features, attaching documents, and linking files in messages and emails.

In modern applications like attachment options in email clients like Gmail or Outlook, file attachment in messaging apps like Slack or Teams, document linking in project management tools, or file upload in form interfaces, you'll see this outlined icon enabling file attachment. It appears in message composers for attaching files, in comment sections for document uploads, or in email interfaces for attachment features.

From a file management perspective, the paperclip symbol communicates file attachment functionality, the linking of documents to messages, and the universal pattern of attaching files across digital communication.

Paper Clip 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 PaperClipOutlinedIcon to components/icons/ant-design-paper-clip-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 PaperClipOutlinedIcon 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 Paper Clip 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="Paper Clip Outlined", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. PaperClipOutlinedIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <PaperClipOutlinedIcon 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 file, document, link, upload, outlined and attachment. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Paper Clip 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 Paper Clip Outlined's siblings in it.
