Float Left

The float-left icon represents an alignment option for text or elements to be positioned on the left side of a container. This style of alignment is commonly used in typography and layout design to create a clear visual hierarchy. It originated in graphic design and publishing, where precise control over text and image placement is crucial.

In software and web development, the float-left icon appears in tools like Figma, Adobe XD, and WordPress, where users need to manage content alignment. For instance, in Figma, designers use this icon to align text blocks or images to the left within a frame.

From a UX perspective, the float-left icon communicates a clear instruction to align content to the left, making it easier for users to understand the layout and organization of a page or interface. This helps users quickly scan and comprehend the content, improving overall usability.

Float Left is one of 486 icons in Pixelarticons, made by Gerrit Halfmann 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 FloatLeftIcon to components/icons/pixelarticons-float-left.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 FloatLeftIcon 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 Float Left icon, or any of 486 Pixelarticons 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="Float Left", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. FloatLeftIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <FloatLeftIcon 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 Pixelarticons, Gerrit Halfmann and the license.

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