Symlink Outlined

The symlink-outlined icon represents a symbolic link, a reference to a file or directory in a file system. This icon is often used in software development and file management systems. It signifies a shortcut or an alias to the original file or directory.

In software development, symbolic links are used to reference files or directories in different locations. For example, in Linux, symbolic links are used to create shortcuts to files or directories. Similarly, in UI design, this icon can be used to represent a link or a connection between different elements.

From a UX perspective, the symlink-outlined icon communicates that a file or directory is a reference to another location. It helps users understand that the file or directory is not a physical copy, but rather a shortcut.

Symlink Outlined is one of 253 icons in EOS Icons, made by SUSE UX/UI team and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 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 SymlinkOutlinedIcon to components/icons/eos-icons-symlink-outlined.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 SymlinkOutlinedIcon 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 Symlink Outlined icon, or any of 253 EOS 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 24 × 24 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="Symlink Outlined", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. SymlinkOutlinedIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <SymlinkOutlinedIcon 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 EOS Icons, SUSE UX/UI team and the license.

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

Its tags are UI, interface, design, symbol, connection and link. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Symlink Outlined in another set.
