Collapse Down

The collapse-down icon represents content collapsing and section minimization in expandable interface elements. Featuring a downward-oriented collapse indicator, this symbol controls the hiding of expanded content, accordion collapse actions, and the reduction of interface density by concealing detailed information below collapsed headers.

In modern applications like documentation sites or FAQ sections, you'll see this icon controlling content visibility and section collapse. It appears in data tables when hiding expanded row details, or in file explorers when collapsing folder hierarchies to simplify navigation and reduce visual clutter.

From a progressive disclosure perspective, the collapse-down icon communicates more than just 'hide' - it specifically indicates the reversal of expansion, the user's control over information density, and the preservation of context through visible headers. This collapse action helps users manage cognitive load by hiding reviewed details.

Collapse Down is one of 223 icons in Open Iconic, made by Iconic and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 8 × 8 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 CollapseDownIcon to components/icons/oi-collapse-down.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 CollapseDownIcon 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 Collapse Down icon, or any of 223 Open Iconic 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 8 × 8 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="Collapse Down", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. CollapseDownIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <CollapseDownIcon 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 Open Iconic, Iconic and the license.

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

Its tags are close, compact, down, collapse, minimize and hide. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Collapse Down in another set.
