Frequently asked questions
What the File icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The file icon represents generic documents and file storage in file management and document handling applications. Featuring the classic folded-corner document shape, this symbol has become the universal indicator for files, documents, and stored content across all digital platforms and operating systems.
In modern applications like file explorers or cloud storage services like Google Drive, you'll see this icon when representing general documents and unspecified file types. It appears in content management systems when handling various document formats, or in backup applications when displaying stored files and data archives.
From a file management perspective, the generic file symbol communicates more than just "digital content" - it specifically indicates stored information, persistent data, and the fundamental unit of digital organization that users can save, share, and organize. This distinction helps users understand they're working with permanent, saveable content rather than temporary or streaming data.
File is one of 1,655 icons in Lucide, made by Lucide Contributors and released under ISC. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 2 stroke.
Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds FileIcon to components/icons/lucide-file.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 FileIcon 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.
Yes, if your project has lucide-react: File is `FileIcon` there, used as <FileIcon />. The shadcn.io MCP server answers with that import when it finds the package. Without it, copy the icon from here.
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 File icon, or any of 1,655 Lucide 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, and its stroke.
File is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 2. Change it in Customize before you copy, or pass strokeWidth to the installed component when all of its strokes share one width.
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="File", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. FileIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <FileIcon 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. ISC 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: ISC 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 Lucide, Lucide Contributors and the license.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
