File Download Icon
file-download · Files · 6 styles
Solar Icons catalogues File Download under Files. 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 Download lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "file-download", and every style variant resolves from that single name.
Semantically the glyph carries individual files and pulling a file to the device. That places File Download 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 Download 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 Download in 6 styles
File Download comes rendered in 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.

You register only the variants you actually render, so nothing unused reaches the bundle. Import FileDownloadBold 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-download live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.

File Download icon FAQ
- How do I use the file-download icon in Angular?
- Import FileDownloadBold from "@rchernando/solar-icons/files", register it with provideSolarIcons(FileDownloadBold) and render <solar-icon name="file-download" iconStyle="bold" />. No HTTP request is made — the SVG is inlined at build time.
- Which styles does File Download 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-download?
- Yes. The size input accepts any CSS length and the SVG uses currentColor, so File Download inherits the text colour of its container — a Tailwind class such as text-violet-400 is enough.
