Folder Icon
folder · Folders · 6 styles
Folder is one of the glyphs Solar Icons ships inside its Folders set. It is one of 14 glyphs in that category and one of 1,246 icons in the library overall, each drawn on the same 24x24 grid so Folder lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "folder", and every style variant resolves from that single name.
Read literally, the shape signals folders and grouping. That places Folder in the Folders family, which covers folders, nesting and directory state and turns up in sidebars, tree views, breadcrumb roots and move-to dialogs. Teams building file browsers and content management systems reach for this set first. Use Folder 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.
Folder in 6 styles
Folder 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 FolderBold from the "@rchernando/solar-icons/folders" 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 folder live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.
import { FolderBold, FolderBoldDuotone, FolderLinear, FolderOutline, FolderBroken, FolderLineDuotone } from '@rchernando/solar-icons/folders';import { ApplicationConfig } from '@angular/core';
import { provideSolarIcons } from '@rchernando/solar-icons';
import { FolderBold } from '@rchernando/solar-icons/folders';
export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
providers: [provideSolarIcons(FolderBold)]

<solar-icon name="folder" iconStyle="bold-duotone" size="24px" />

Icons drawn alongside it in Folders include Folder Favourite Star, Folder2, Folder Check, Folder Open, Move To Folder, Folder Cloud, Folder Path Connect and Remove Folder. They share stroke weight and corner radius with Folder, so mixing them in one toolbar stays consistent.

If Folder is not quite the shape you want, Add Folder, Folder Check, Folder Cloud, Folder Error and Folder Favourite Bookmark share part of its name and often work as substitutes.
Elsewhere in the library
Outside this category, Screencast2, Square Arrow Left Up, Ticket, Wallpaper, Bag5 and Cart Check cover neighbouring ideas; the name "folder" is 6 characters long and splits into 1 token, which is how the explorer's search matches it.
Folder icon FAQ
- How do I use the folder icon in Angular?
- Import FolderBold from "@rchernando/solar-icons/folders", register it with provideSolarIcons(FolderBold) and render <solar-icon name="folder" iconStyle="bold" />. No HTTP request is made — the SVG is inlined at build time.
- Which styles does Folder 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 folder?
- Yes. The size input accepts any CSS length and the SVG uses currentColor, so Folder inherits the text colour of its container — a Tailwind class such as text-violet-400 is enough.
