Link Icon
link · Text Formatting · 6 styles
Solar Icons catalogues Link under Text Formatting. It is one of 33 glyphs in that category and one of 1,246 icons in the library overall, each drawn on the same 24x24 grid so Link lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "link", and every style variant resolves from that single name.
Semantically the glyph carries hyperlinks and connections. That places Link in the Text Formatting family, which covers typography controls and rich-text formatting and turns up in WYSIWYG toolbars, markdown editors, comment boxes and CMS fields. Teams building editors and content tooling reach for this set first. Use Link 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.
Link in 6 styles
Link 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.

Every export is an isolated constant, so the bundler drops whatever you never mention. Import LinkBold from the "@rchernando/solar-icons/text-formatting" 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 link live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.

Icons related to Link
If Link is not quite the shape you want, Link Broken, Link Broken Minimalistic, Link Circle, Link Minimalistic and Link Minimalistic2 share part of its name and often work as substitutes.
Elsewhere in the library
Across the rest of the set, Slider Minimalistic Horizontal, Minimalistic Magnifer Bug, Dropper, Atom, Spedometer Low and Muted cover neighbouring ideas; the name "link" is 4 characters long and splits into 1 token, which is how the explorer's search matches it.
Link icon FAQ
- How do I use the link icon in Angular?
- Import LinkBold from "@rchernando/solar-icons/text-formatting", register it with provideSolarIcons(LinkBold) and render <solar-icon name="link" iconStyle="bold" />. No HTTP request is made — the SVG is inlined at build time.
- Which styles does Link 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 link?
- Yes. The size input accepts any CSS length and the SVG uses currentColor, so Link inherits the text colour of its container — a Tailwind class such as text-violet-400 is enough.
