Archive

The archive icon represents a collection of stored files or data. It symbolizes a secure and organized repository for digital content. Archives are used to preserve and protect important information. The concept of archiving dates back to physical storage systems, where documents and records were kept for historical or administrative purposes.

In software applications, archives are often used to compress and store files, making them easier to share or transfer. For instance, WinRAR and 7-Zip are popular tools for creating and extracting archives. Similarly, cloud storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox, and Microsoft OneDrive provide users with virtual archives for their files, allowing access from anywhere.

From a UX perspective, the archive icon communicates organization and preservation. When users see this icon, they understand that their files are safely stored and can be retrieved when needed. This icon helps users navigate to areas where they can manage their stored content, such as viewing, downloading, or deleting archived files.

Archive is one of 1,544 icons in Line Awesome, made by Icons8 and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 32 × 32 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 ArchiveIcon to components/icons/la-archive.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 ArchiveIcon 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 Archive icon, or any of 1,544 Line Awesome 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 32 × 32 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="Archive", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. ArchiveIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <ArchiveIcon 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 Line Awesome, Icons8 and the license.

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