Frequently asked questions
What the Folder Open icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The folder-open icon represents the action of opening or viewing a folder. This symbol originates from computer file systems, where users can open folders to view their contents. The icon's design typically features a folder-like shape with an open or expanded symbol, signifying the display of folder contents.
In software applications, the folder-open icon appears in tools like file explorers, such as Windows Explorer or macOS Finder, where it represents the action of opening a folder. For instance, in Windows Explorer, users can open a folder by double-clicking on it. Similarly, in macOS Finder, users can open a folder by clicking on it.
From a UX perspective, the folder-open icon communicates the idea of access, visibility, and exploration. It helps users understand that they can view the contents of a folder. When users encounter this icon, they anticipate a visual representation of a folder's contents that they can interact with.
Folder Open is one of 2,547 icons in Carbon, made by IBM and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 32 × 32 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 FolderOpenIcon to components/icons/carbon-folder-open.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 FolderOpenIcon 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 Folder Open icon, or any of 2,547 Carbon 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 32 × 32 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="Folder Open", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. FolderOpenIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <FolderOpenIcon 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. Apache 2.0 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: Apache 2.0 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 Carbon, IBM and the license.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
