Frequently asked questions
What the Chevron Down icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The chevron-down icon represents a downward-pointing arrow symbol, commonly used to indicate a dropdown menu or to navigate to a lower level of information. It originated from the Material Design Iconic Font library, which provides a wide range of icons for various applications. The chevron-down icon is often used to provide visual cues and navigation assistance to users.
In real-world applications, the chevron-down icon can be found in software like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge, where it is used to indicate dropdown menus or navigation. It is also used in e-commerce to display product information or to navigate to lower levels of a website.
From a UX perspective, the chevron-down icon communicates a sense of navigation and exploration, helping users understand the structure and hierarchy of a website or application. It can also be used to draw attention to important information or to provide visual hierarchy.
Chevron Down is one of 777 icons in Material Design Iconic Font, made by MDI Community and released under Open Font License. It is drawn on a 256 × 384 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 ChevronDownIcon to components/icons/zmdi-chevron-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 ChevronDownIcon 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 Chevron Down icon, or any of 777 Material Design Iconic Font 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 256 × 384 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="Chevron Down", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. ChevronDownIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <ChevronDownIcon 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. The Open Font License allows commercial use; the icons can't be sold on their own. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.
No visible credit is required: Open Font License 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 Material Design Iconic Font, MDI Community and the license.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
