Rename

The rename icon represents a pencil or editing symbol, often used to indicate the action of renaming or editing a file, folder, or other digital content. The visual design typically consists of a stylized pencil or pen, signifying the editing process. This symbol originates from the early days of computing, where it was used to represent the action of editing or modifying content.

In real-world applications, the rename icon appears in various software and platforms, such as file explorers like Windows Explorer, macOS Finder, and Linux file managers. It's also commonly found in text editors, IDEs, and other development tools.

From a UX perspective, the rename icon communicates the action of editing or modifying content, helping users understand that they can change the name or properties of a file or folder by interacting with the icon. This icon is often used in conjunction with buttons, links, or other interactive elements to provide a clear call-to-action.

Rename is one of 1,609 icons in BoxIcons, made by Atisa and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 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 RenameIcon to components/icons/bx-rename.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 RenameIcon 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 Rename icon, or any of 1,609 BoxIcons 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.

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="Rename", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. RenameIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <RenameIcon 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, with credit: CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author (Atisa) where you use the icons. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

Yes. CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author where you use the icons, for example "Icons by Atisa, CC BY 4.0" on an about or credits page.

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