Chevron Up

The chevron-up icon represents a collapse or expand-less functionality, often used to indicate that users can collapse or minimize content. This icon is commonly used in user interfaces to facilitate navigation and content exploration. Its widespread use has made it a recognizable symbol for users to expect access to collapsed or minimized content.

In software applications, the chevron-up icon appears in various contexts, such as collapsible sections, tabbed interfaces, or navigation menus. For instance, the icon is used in Google's Material Design to indicate a collapsible section or in Bootstrap to signal a minimized content option. Additionally, many websites use this icon to enable users to access collapsed or minimized content.

From a UX perspective, the chevron-up icon effectively communicates the availability of collapsed or minimized content, providing users with a clear indication of the potential for content minimization. The icon's simplicity and universality ensure that users can quickly understand and respond to the collapse or expand-less signal.

Chevron Up is one of 207 icons in Gridicons, made by Automattic and released under GPL 2.0. 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 ChevronUpIcon to components/icons/gridicons-chevron-up.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 ChevronUpIcon 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 Chevron Up icon, or any of 207 Gridicons 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="Chevron Up", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. ChevronUpIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <ChevronUpIcon 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.

GPL 2.0 is copyleft: what you ship with the icons may have to use the same license. Check it fits your project first. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

Keep the GPL 2.0 notice with the icons, and credit Automattic as it asks. GPL 2.0 is copyleft, so what you ship with them may have to use the same license.

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