Inline SVG (copy & paste)

Paste this straight into HTML or JSX. It inherits currentColor, so it follows your theme.

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 1024 1024" width="24" height="24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" role="img" aria-label="folder-open icon"><path fill="currentColor" d="M928 444H820V330.4c0-17.7-14.3-32-32-32H473L355.7 186.2a8.15 8.15 0 0 0-5.5-2.2H96c-17.7 0-32 14.3-32 32v592c0 17.7 14.3 32 32 32h698c13 0 24.8-7.9 29.7-20l134-332c1.5-3.8 2.3-7.9 2.3-12c0-17.7-14.3-32-32-32M136 256h188.5l119.6 114.4H748V444H238c-13 0-24.8 7.9-29.7 20L136 643.2zm635.3 512H159l103.3-256h612.4z"/></svg>

React component

Install the package for the library you picked, then import the component.

npm install @ant-design/icons

import { FolderOpen } from "@ant-design/icons";

export function Example() {
  return <FolderOpen size={24} />;
}

Choosing the right folder open icon

Match the icon to the interface

A folder open icon has to read instantly at whatever size your interface uses. Below 20px, prefer outline artwork with a consistent stroke weight — heavy filled glyphs turn into blobs. For navigation bars and empty states above 32px, filled or duotone versions carry more visual weight and scan better.

Keep stroke weight consistent across every icon in a view. Mixing a 1.5px Lucide glyph with a 2px Tabler glyph in the same toolbar is the most common reason icon sets look unprofessional.

Accessibility

Decorative icons need aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip them. If the folder open icon is the only thing labelling a control — an icon-only button, for example — give the button an aria-label such as "Folder Open" and leave the SVG itself hidden.

Never rely on the icon alone to convey state. Pair it with a tooltip or visible text wherever the meaning is not already obvious from context.

Can I download a folder open icon as a PNG?

Which library has the best folder open icon?

It depends on the design system you are matching. Outline libraries such as Lucide, Tabler and Feather suit dense product interfaces; Material Symbols and Bootstrap Icons ship matched outline and filled variants of the same glyph; Phosphor and Solar add duotone, bold and broken weights. The grid above shows all 18 options side by side so you can judge them at real size.

How do I add a folder open icon to a React app?

Copy the SVG markup for any icon on this page and paste it directly into JSX, or install the official npm package for the library you picked — lucide-react, @tabler/icons-react, @phosphor-icons/react, react-bootstrap-icons and react-icons are the most common. Both approaches are shown in the code samples above.

What sizes and styles do folder open icons come in?

All 18 icons on this page are vector artwork, so they scale cleanly to any size. The libraries represented here render the folder open concept in fill, bold, outline, light styles, and IconStash can export PNGs at 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 128, 256 or 512px, or any custom value in between.

Can I change the colour of a folder open icon?

Yes. Icons are exported using currentColor, so they inherit the CSS colour of their parent element and follow your theme automatically. You can also pick an exact hex colour in the IconStash editor before downloading, or override the colour with a CSS rule such as .icon { color: #C1DD2D; }.
