File Type Lnk

The file-type-lnk icon represents a Windows shortcut file (.lnk), which is a type of file that points to another file or location on a Windows system. Shortcuts are commonly used to quickly access frequently used files, folders, or applications.

In Windows, shortcuts are often created on the desktop or in the Start menu to provide easy access to files and applications. Users can create shortcuts by right-clicking on a file or folder and selecting 'Create shortcut'.

From a UX perspective, the file-type-lnk icon communicates that a file is a shortcut, allowing users to quickly identify and access linked files or locations. The icon helps users understand the file type and its associated functionality.

File Type Lnk is one of 1,426 icons in VSCode Icons, made by Roberto Huertas 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 FileTypeLnkIcon to components/icons/vscode-icons-file-type-lnk.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 FileTypeLnkIcon 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 File Type Lnk icon, or any of 1,426 VSCode Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's multicolor, so it keeps its own colors.

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 keeps its own colors in light and dark mode, so check it against both backgrounds. 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="File Type Lnk", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. FileTypeLnkIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <FileTypeLnkIcon 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 VSCode Icons, Roberto Huertas and the license.

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

Its tags are navigation, file, accessibility, link, shortcut and windows. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for File Type Lnk in another set.

VSCode Icons draws many icons in several styles: Light next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see File Type Lnk's siblings in it.
