Link Alt

The link alt icon represents an alternative connection or link between elements, often used to signify supplementary relationships or associations. The visual design of the link alt icon typically includes a distinct link or chain symbol, signifying an alternate connection. This icon originates from digital interfaces and hyperlinking.

In software and digital platforms, the link alt icon appears in applications related to data association, communication, and content linking. Examples include data integration tools, content management systems, and collaborative platforms.

From a UX perspective, the link alt icon communicates a sense of supplementary connection, helping users understand actions related to alternative linking or referencing.

Link Alt is one of 562 icons in CoreUI Free, made by creativeLabs Łukasz Holeczek and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 512 × 512 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 LinkAltIcon to components/icons/cil-link-alt.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 LinkAltIcon 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 Link Alt icon, or any of 562 CoreUI Free 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 512 × 512 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="Link Alt", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. LinkAltIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <LinkAltIcon 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 (creativeLabs Łukasz Holeczek) 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 creativeLabs Łukasz Holeczek, CC BY 4.0" on an about or credits page.
