Arrow Down

The arrow-down icon represents a directional symbol used to indicate movement or navigation downwards. It is commonly used in user interfaces to suggest actions like expanding content or moving to the next step. The arrow-down icon originates from early graphical user interface (GUI) design, where it was used to denote continuation or progression.

In real-world applications, the arrow-down icon appears in various digital products, such as websites and applications, where it guides users through navigation menus or content sections. For example, on an e-commerce website, an arrow-down icon might be used to indicate the expansion of product details or to prompt users to view more content.

From a UX perspective, the arrow-down icon communicates continuity and progression. It helps users understand that there is more content or actions available below their current view, encouraging them to explore further. The icon's use can significantly enhance the user's sense of navigation and flow within an interface.

Arrow Down is one of 89 icons in TopCoat Icons, made by TopCoat and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 42 × 42 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 ArrowDownIcon to components/icons/topcoat-arrow-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 ArrowDownIcon 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 Arrow Down icon, or any of 89 TopCoat Icons 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 42 × 42 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="Arrow Down", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. ArrowDownIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <ArrowDownIcon 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. Apache 2.0 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: Apache 2.0 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 TopCoat Icons, TopCoat and the license.

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