About this icon

Use the Folder icon

The Folder icon (Feather) is categorized under Files. Its outline style is optimal for app navigation bars, toolbar buttons, form labels, and UI controls where clarity at 16–24px is critical and scales cleanly from 16px to 512px.

Use the IconStash detail panel to preview with a custom background, adjust stroke width, and generate production-ready SVG or PNG files without any external tools.

Export formats

Copy clean SVG vectors with one click, generate custom-size PNG files from 16px to 512px, export JSX/React components ready to paste into your project, or use the icon as a CSS background-mask for flexible theming.

All exports are based on the same editable vector — so the Folder icon stays pixel-perfect at 16px, 24px, 48px, and any large marketing size.

Design & UX integration

Aesthetic characteristics

Feather is the library Lucide forked from, and Folder carries the shared DNA: a 24x24 grid, 2px strokes, rounded caps. With only 286 icons the set is deliberately curated and no longer growing, which is precisely why its internal consistency is unusually tight.

UX best practices

In file explorers, document lists and CMS dashboards, put the Folder icon immediately to the left of the filename so the eye scans one straight line. If it triggers a destructive action, keep a confirmation step — a delete or archive glyph is too easy to hit by accident in a dense list.

Use in your project

React / npm — Feather

npm install react-feather

import { Folder } from 'react-feather';

// JSX usage:
<Folder size={24} color="#000" />

Copy the SVG markup directly from the IconStash editor to use the Folder icon without any npm package — paste it into HTML, JSX, or a design tool.
