Baseline File Open

The file open icon represents a file being opened or accessed. It is commonly used in file management systems to indicate the action of opening a file. The icon is part of the Google Material Icons library.

In software applications, the file open icon is often used in file explorers, text editors, and other programs that allow users to interact with files. For example, in a text editor, the icon might be used to open a new file or to load an existing one.

From a UX perspective, the file open icon communicates the action of accessing a file, making it easy for users to understand the functionality of a button or menu item. It can also be used to indicate the status of a file, such as being open or closed.

Baseline File Open is one of 10,956 icons in Google Material Icons, made by Material Design Authors and released under Apache 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 BaselineFileOpenIcon to components/icons/ic-baseline-file-open.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 BaselineFileOpenIcon 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 Baseline File Open icon, or any of 10,956 Google Material 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="Baseline File Open", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. BaselineFileOpenIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <BaselineFileOpenIcon 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. Apache 2.0 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: Apache 2.0 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 Google Material Icons, Material Design Authors and the license.

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

Its tags are navigation, icon, material, file, document and google. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Baseline File Open in another set.
