FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What the Folders icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The folders icon represents multiple folders or a collection of folders. This symbol originates from computer file systems, where users can manage multiple folders. The icon's design typically features multiple folder-like shapes, signifying a collection of folders.
In software applications, the folders icon appears in tools like file explorers, such as Windows Explorer or macOS Finder, where it represents a collection of folders. For instance, in Windows Explorer, users can view multiple folders by clicking on the 'Folder' button. Similarly, in macOS Finder, users can view multiple folders by clicking on the 'View' menu and selecting 'Show All Files'.
From a UX perspective, the folders icon communicates the idea of multiplicity, collection, and organization. It helps users understand that multiple folders are being managed or displayed. When users encounter this icon, they anticipate a visual representation of multiple folders that they can interact with.
Folders 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 FoldersIcon to components/icons/carbon-folders.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 FoldersIcon 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 Folders 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="Folders", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. FoldersIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <FoldersIcon 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.
