Download

The download icon represents the action of transferring data or files from a remote server to a local device. It is commonly used in software applications to indicate a download or save operation.

In software applications, the download icon is often used in conjunction with file management or data transfer operations. For example, in cloud storage platforms like Google Drive, a download icon may indicate a download operation for a file or folder.

From a UX perspective, the download icon communicates a sense of data transfer and storage to the user. It helps users understand the action of downloading or saving files and provides a clear visual cue for data transfer operations.

Download is one of 266 icons in Raphael, made by Dmitry Baranovskiy and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 32 × 32 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 DownloadIcon to components/icons/raphael-download.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 DownloadIcon 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 Download icon, or any of 266 Raphael 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 32 × 32 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="Download", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. DownloadIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <DownloadIcon 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 Raphael, Dmitry Baranovskiy and the license.

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

8 other libraries draw an icon called Download. The Other libraries section on this page shows each one, so you can compare them and open the one that fits your style.

Its tags are file, data, storage, cloud, internet and transfer. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Download in another set.
