What the Inbox Outline icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The inbox outline icon represents a basic inbox, symbolizing a standard email inbox or message box. It is often used in digital communication to signify a place for receiving messages. This icon is significant in the context of email clients and messaging apps, where users receive and organize their messages.
In real-world applications, this icon appears in various email services and messaging apps, such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Slack. These platforms use the inbox outline icon to represent a central location for users to view their messages.
From a UX perspective, the inbox outline icon communicates simplicity and clarity, helping users quickly identify the inbox or message section. This icon aids in navigation by providing a clear visual indicator of where users can find their messages.
Inbox Outline is one of 15,862 icons in Material Symbols, made by Google and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 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 InboxOutlineIcon to components/icons/material-symbols-inbox-outline.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 InboxOutlineIcon 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 Inbox Outline icon, or any of 15,862 Material Symbols 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.
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="Inbox Outline", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. InboxOutlineIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <InboxOutlineIcon 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 Material Symbols, Google and the license.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
