Files

The files icon represents a collection of documents or files, often used to symbolize data storage, management, and organization. The concept of files dates back to the early days of computing, when users needed to store and manage digital documents. Today, files are a fundamental part of our digital lives, used in various contexts, from personal documents to business data.

In software applications, the files icon is commonly used in file management systems, such as Google Drive, Dropbox, and Microsoft OneDrive. It's also used in productivity tools like Microsoft Office, Google Docs, and Trello. When users encounter this icon, they understand that it's related to data storage, management, or organization.

From a UX perspective, the files icon communicates that the user can access, manage, or organize files. It helps users navigate through complex interfaces and understand the functionality of a particular feature or button. For instance, when a user clicks on a file icon, they may be taken to a file explorer or a list of documents.

Files is one of 590 icons in Marketeq, made by Marketeq and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 50 × 50 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 FilesIcon to components/icons/marketeq-files.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 FilesIcon 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 Files icon, or any of 590 Marketeq icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's multicolor, so it keeps its own colors.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 50 × 50 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It keeps its own colors in light and dark mode, so check it against both backgrounds. 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="Files", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. FilesIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <FilesIcon 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 Marketeq, Marketeq and the license.

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