Frequently asked questions
What the Folders Outline icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The folders-outline icon represents a folder or directory in an outlined style, commonly used in user interfaces to signify a collection of files or documents. This icon is often used in file systems, document management systems, or cloud storage services. Its simple and recognizable design makes it easily identifiable across different platforms.
In real-world applications, the folders-outline icon appears in software such as file explorers, document management systems, and cloud storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or Microsoft OneDrive. It's also commonly used in design tools like Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD.
From a UX perspective, the folders-outline icon communicates organization and categorization, helping users understand that a collection of files or documents is being represented. It also helps users navigate interfaces by providing a clear visual cue for interacting with files or directories.
Folders Outline is one of 1,200 icons in Teenyicons, made by smhmd and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 15 × 15 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 FoldersOutlineIcon to components/icons/teenyicons-folders-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 FoldersOutlineIcon 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 Folders Outline icon, or any of 1,200 Teenyicons 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 15 × 15 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.
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="Folders Outline", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. FoldersOutlineIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <FoldersOutlineIcon 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 Teenyicons, smhmd and the license.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
