Clipboard

The clipboard icon represents a clipboard or a copy/paste interface element, commonly used in digital design to indicate copying or pasting functionality. It originates from office supplies and has been adopted in various contexts, including user interface design. The clipboard icon has become a standard symbol in digital design, conveying a sense of copying or pasting content.

In software and digital platforms, the clipboard icon appears in various applications, such as text editors, note-taking apps, and design tools. For example, in Google Docs, the clipboard icon is used to indicate copying and pasting text. Similarly, in design tools like Sketch, the clipboard icon is used to represent copying and pasting design elements.

From a UX perspective, the clipboard icon communicates a sense of copying or pasting content, helping users understand that they can duplicate or transfer information. It also serves as a visual cue, guiding users through complex interfaces and workflows. When used consistently, the clipboard icon can become an intuitive part of a user's mental model, making it easier for them to navigate and interact with digital products.

Clipboard is one of 2,361 icons in IonIcons, made by Ben Sperry and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 512 × 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 ClipboardIcon to components/icons/ion-clipboard.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 ClipboardIcon 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 Clipboard icon, or any of 2,361 IonIcons 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 512 × 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="Clipboard", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. ClipboardIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <ClipboardIcon 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 IonIcons, Ben Sperry and the license.

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