Folder Tree

The folder-tree icon represents hierarchical directory structures and tree-based folder navigation in file management and organizational applications. Featuring connected folders in a tree formation, this symbol has become the standard indicator for directory hierarchies, nested folder structures, and tree-view navigation in file system interfaces.

In modern applications like file managers or IDE project explorers such as VS Code's file tree and Windows Explorer's folder hierarchy, users encounter this icon when viewing hierarchical folder structures and navigating complex directory trees. Popular platforms including file organization tools and project management systems display this symbol to represent structured folder relationships and nested directory navigation.

From a file organization perspective, the folder tree symbol communicates more than just "multiple folders" - it specifically indicates hierarchical relationships, parent-child directory structures, and systematic organizational depth. This distinction helps users understand they're working with structured hierarchies rather than flat folder collections or simple directory lists.

Folder Tree 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 FolderTreeIcon to components/icons/lucide-folder-tree.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 FolderTreeIcon 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: Folder Tree is `FolderTreeIcon` there, used as <FolderTreeIcon />. 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 Folder Tree 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.

Folder Tree 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="Folder Tree", so screen readers say what it does.

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