About this icon

Use the Arrow Outward icon

Icons in the light style — like Arrow Outward — are designed for subtle decorative accents, secondary labels, light-themed dashboards, and minimal product pages. Use it across app menus, breadcrumbs, map interfaces, multi-step forms, pagination controls, and sidebar navigation for a consistent, professional look.

IconStash's editor lets you fine-tune color, size, and stroke width in real time, then export in the format that fits your workflow: SVG, PNG, JSX, or CSS background-mask.

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 Arrow Outward icon stays pixel-perfect at 16px, 24px, 48px, and any large marketing size.

Design & UX integration

Aesthetic characteristics

Arrow Outward is the 300-weight cut of Material Symbols — the lightest weight in the variable font. Light weight reads as refined at large sizes, but it loses contrast on dark backgrounds and at 16px, so it suits spacious, light-themed layouts better than dense toolbars.

UX best practices

For headers, sidebars, footers and breadcrumbs, pair the Arrow Outward icon with a text label wherever space allows. Icon-only navigation tests well only for a handful of universally understood actions; comprehension drops sharply once the destination is product-specific. Keep the icon at a fixed optical size so the menu does not appear to shift.
