Refresh Icon
refresh · Arrow · 6 styles
Filed under Arrow, the Refresh icon is part of the Solar Icons Angular package. It is one of 67 glyphs in that category and one of 1,246 icons in the library overall, each drawn on the same 24x24 grid so Refresh lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "refresh", and every style variant resolves from that single name.
Users read the shape as the idea of directional movement and navigation. That places Refresh in the Arrow family, which covers directional movement and navigation and turns up in pagination controls, carousels, breadcrumb separators and stepper flows. Teams building any interface that moves the user between screens reach for this set first. Use Refresh 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.
Refresh in 6 styles
Refresh is drawn 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.

There is no sprite sheet and no runtime registry lookup over the network. Import RefreshBold from the "@rchernando/solar-icons/arrow" 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 refresh live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.
import { RefreshBold, RefreshBoldDuotone, RefreshLinear, RefreshOutline, RefreshBroken, RefreshLineDuotone } from '@rchernando/solar-icons/arrow';import { ApplicationConfig } from '@angular/core';
import { provideSolarIcons } from '@rchernando/solar-icons';
import { RefreshBold } from '@rchernando/solar-icons/arrow';
export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
providers: [provideSolarIcons(RefreshBold)]
};<solar-icon name="refresh" iconStyle="bold" size="24px" />
<solar-icon name="refresh" iconStyle="bold-duotone" size="24px" />
<solar-icon name="refresh" iconStyle="linear" size="24px" />
<solar-icon name="refresh" iconStyle="outline" size="24px" />
<solar-icon name="refresh" iconStyle="broken" size="24px" />
<solar-icon name="refresh" iconStyle="line-duotone" size="24px" />More Arrow icons
Icons drawn alongside it in Arrow include Square Arrow Right Up, Round Arrow Left, Transfer Vertical, Round Sort Horizontal, Arrow Right Up, Square Arrow Down, Restart Square and Square Double Alt Arrow Up. They share stroke weight and corner radius with Refresh, so mixing them in one toolbar stays consistent.
Icons related to Refresh
If Refresh is not quite the shape you want, Refresh Circle and Refresh Square share part of its name and often work as substitutes.
Elsewhere in the library
Across the rest of the set, Rewind5seconds Back, Balls, History, Smart Home Angle, Card Transfer and Logout2 cover neighbouring ideas; the name "refresh" is 7 characters long and splits into 1 token, which is how the explorer's search matches it.
Refresh icon FAQ
- How do I use the refresh icon in Angular?
- Import RefreshBold from "@rchernando/solar-icons/arrow", register it with provideSolarIcons(RefreshBold) and render <solar-icon name="refresh" iconStyle="bold" />. No HTTP request is made — the SVG is inlined at build time.
- Which styles does Refresh 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 refresh?
- Yes. The size input accepts any CSS length and the SVG uses currentColor, so Refresh inherits the text colour of its container — a Tailwind class such as text-violet-400 is enough.
