Floppy Disk

The floppy-disk icon represents a floppy disk, an outdated data storage device commonly used in the past for saving and transferring files. It is often associated with legacy systems, computing, and technology applications. The floppy disk icon is still used today as a symbol for saving or exporting data.

In real-world applications, the floppy-disk icon appears in software applications, file editors, and data storage devices like Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop, and external hard drives. It is also used in educational institutions and businesses to represent data storage or saving functionality.

From a UX perspective, the floppy-disk icon communicates saving or exporting data and is often used as a metaphor for data storage or transfer. It helps users quickly identify and navigate to files they need to save or export.

Floppy Disk is one of 164 icons in Font Awesome 6 Regular, made by Dave Gandy and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 448 × 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 FloppyDiskIcon to components/icons/fa6-regular-floppy-disk.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 FloppyDiskIcon 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 Floppy Disk icon, or any of 164 Font Awesome 6 Regular 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 448 × 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="Floppy Disk", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. FloppyDiskIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <FloppyDiskIcon 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 (Dave Gandy) 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 Dave Gandy, CC BY 4.0" on an about or credits page.

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