Paperclip Icon

paperclip · Message Conversation · 6 styles

The Paperclip icon belongs to the Message Conversation set of Solar Icons for Angular. It is one of 48 glyphs in that category and one of 1,246 icons in the library overall, each drawn on the same 24x24 grid so Paperclip lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "paperclip", and every style variant resolves from that single name.

The drawing communicates attachments. That places Paperclip in the Message Conversation family, which covers chat bubbles, threads and message state and turns up in inboxes, chat headers, unread badges and notification centres. Teams building messaging, support desks and collaboration tools reach for this set first. Use Paperclip 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.

Paperclip in 6 styles

Paperclip exists 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.

How to use the paperclip icon in Angular

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

typescript
import { PaperclipBold, PaperclipBoldDuotone, PaperclipLinear, PaperclipOutline, PaperclipBroken, PaperclipLineDuotone } from '@rchernando/solar-icons/message-conversation';
typescript
import { ApplicationConfig } from '@angular/core';
import { provideSolarIcons } from '@rchernando/solar-icons';
import { PaperclipBold } from '@rchernando/solar-icons/message-conversation';

export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
  providers: [provideSolarIcons(PaperclipBold)]
};

Paperclip icon FAQ

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