Link External 24

The link-external-24 icon represents a large or prominent external link concept, symbolizing a significant exit point or transition. It originates from the Octicons library and is often used to convey a sense of substantial external navigation.

In real-world applications, the link-external-24 icon appears in software and platforms related to comprehensive external linking, in-depth navigation, or strategic connections, such as enterprise software, complex systems, or high-stakes networking.

From a UX perspective, this icon communicates a sense of importance and visibility, helping users understand that they are about to engage with a significant external link or exit point.

Link External 24 is one of 901 icons in Octicons, made by GitHub and released under MIT. 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 LinkExternal24Icon to components/icons/octicon-link-external-24.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 LinkExternal24Icon 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 Link External 24 icon, or any of 901 Octicons 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="Link External 24", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. LinkExternal24Icon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <LinkExternal24Icon 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 Octicons, GitHub and the license.

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

Its tags are navigation, link, exit, large, external and redirect. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Link External 24 in another set.

Octicons draws many icons in several styles: Fill next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see Link External 24's siblings in it.
