Forward

The forward icon represents a navigation element used to indicate movement or progression to the next step or page. It is commonly used in various digital interfaces to facilitate user navigation. The icon is characterized by its distinctive arrow shape, pointing to the right, which is universally recognized as a symbol for moving forward or continuing.

In real-world applications, the forward icon appears in web browsers, media players, and numerous software interfaces where navigation through content is required. For instance, in a web browser, the forward button allows users to navigate to previously visited web pages. Similarly, in media players, the forward icon enables users to skip to the next track or chapter.

From a UX perspective, the forward icon effectively communicates the action of proceeding to the next step or continuing a process. Its intuitive design ensures that users can easily understand its purpose and interact with it accordingly. The icon's presence in digital interfaces helps to streamline navigation and enhance the overall user experience.

Forward is one of 304 icons in Elusive Icons, made by Team Redux and released under Open Font License. It is drawn on a 1200 × 1200 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 ForwardIcon to components/icons/el-forward.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 ForwardIcon 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 Forward icon, or any of 304 Elusive Icons 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 1200 × 1200 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="Forward", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. ForwardIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <ForwardIcon 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. The Open Font License allows commercial use; the icons can't be sold on their own. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: Open Font License 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 Elusive Icons, Team Redux and the license.

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