Frequently asked questions
What the Folder Parent icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The folder-parent icon represents a parent or parent-child relationship between folders. This symbol originates from computer file systems, where folders can have subfolders or parent folders. The icon's design typically features a folder-like shape with a parent or hierarchy symbol, signifying the relationship between folders.
In software applications, the folder-parent icon appears in tools like file explorers, such as Windows Explorer or macOS Finder, where it represents the parent-child relationship between folders. For instance, in Windows Explorer, users can view the parent folder of a subfolder by clicking on the 'Up' button. Similarly, in macOS Finder, users can view the parent folder by clicking on the 'Go' menu and selecting 'Parent Folder'.
From a UX perspective, the folder-parent icon communicates the idea of hierarchy, relationships, and navigation. It helps users understand the structure and organization of folders. When users encounter this icon, they anticipate a visual representation of a folder's parent-child relationships that they can interact with.
Folder Parent 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 FolderParentIcon to components/icons/carbon-folder-parent.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 FolderParentIcon 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 Parent 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 Parent", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. FolderParentIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <FolderParentIcon 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.
Its tags are file, organization, storage, structure and hierarchy. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Folder Parent in another set.
Carbon draws many icons in several styles: Filled next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see Folder Parent's siblings in it.
