Paperclip Line

The paperclip-line icon represents a stylized illustration of a paperclip. The SVG path depicts a combination of lines and shapes that form a recognizable symbol of attachment and linking. This symbol originates from the concept of attaching or linking files and documents.

In real-world applications, this icon appears in email clients like Gmail or Outlook. It is also used in document management software like Dropbox or Google Drive to indicate attached files.

From a UX perspective, the paperclip-line icon communicates a sense of attachment and connection. It helps users understand that a particular interface or feature is related to linking or attaching files, allowing them to share and access documents more effectively.

Paperclip Line is one of 1,105 icons in Clarity, made by VMware and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 36 × 36 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 PaperclipLineIcon to components/icons/clarity-paperclip-line.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 PaperclipLineIcon 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 Paperclip Line icon, or any of 1,105 Clarity 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 36 × 36 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="Paperclip Line", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. PaperclipLineIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <PaperclipLineIcon 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. MIT 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: MIT 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 Clarity, VMware and the license.

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