File Icon
file · Files · 6 styles
File is one of the glyphs Solar Icons ships inside its Files set. It is one of 15 glyphs in that category and one of 1,246 icons in the library overall, each drawn on the same 24x24 grid so File lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "file", and every style variant resolves from that single name.
Read literally, the shape signals individual files. That places File in the Files family, which covers documents by format and by state and turns up in file managers, upload widgets, attachment lists and export menus. Teams building document-heavy products and storage front-ends reach for this set first. Use File where the label alone would be ambiguous — an icon-only button, a dense table row, a mobile tab bar — and keep an accessible name on the control, because the SVG itself is decorative.
File in 6 styles
File has been redrawn for 6 style variants: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Bold gives you solid filled shapes that hold their weight at 16px and read clearly against coloured backgrounds. Bold Duotone gives you a filled body with a second, lower-opacity layer that adds depth without a second colour token. Linear gives you even 1.5px strokes, the neutral default for dense interfaces and toolbars. A common pairing is Bold for the selected state and Line Duotone for the rest, so the active item reads without a colour change.

Every export is an isolated constant, so the bundler drops whatever you never mention. Import FileBold from the "@rchernando/solar-icons/files" entry point, hand it to provideSolarIcons in your application config or in a route-level providers array, and render it with the solar-icon component. All 6 exports for file live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.
import { FileBold, FileBoldDuotone, FileLinear, FileOutline, FileBroken, FileLineDuotone } from '@rchernando/solar-icons/files';import { ApplicationConfig } from '@angular/core';
import { provideSolarIcons } from '@rchernando/solar-icons';
import { FileBold } from '@rchernando/solar-icons/files';
export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
providers: [provideSolarIcons(FileBold)]
};<solar-icon name="file" iconStyle="bold" size="24px" />
<solar-icon name="file" iconStyle="bold-duotone" size="24px" />
<solar-icon name="file" iconStyle="linear" size="24px" />

Icons drawn alongside it in Files include File Corrupted, File Favourite, File Remove, File Send, File Text, Cloud File, Figma File and File Check. They share stroke weight and corner radius with File, so mixing them in one toolbar stays consistent.
Icons related to File
If File is not quite the shape you want, Cloud File, Code File, Figma File, File Check and File Corrupted share part of its name and often work as substitutes.
Elsewhere in the library
Across the rest of the set, Gamepad Old, Safe Circle, Bag Music, Home Add, Simcard Minimalistic and Bone cover neighbouring ideas; the name "file" is 4 characters long and splits into 1 token, which is how the explorer's search matches it.
File icon FAQ
- How do I use the file icon in Angular?
- Import FileBold from "@rchernando/solar-icons/files", register it with provideSolarIcons(FileBold) and render <solar-icon name="file" iconStyle="bold" />. No HTTP request is made — the SVG is inlined at build time.
- Which styles does File support?
- 6 of them: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Each is a separate export, so you only ship the ones you import.
- Can I change the size and colour of file?
- Yes. The size input accepts any CSS length and the SVG uses currentColor, so File inherits the text colour of its container — a Tailwind class such as text-violet-400 is enough.
