Upload Icon
upload · Arrow Actions · 6 styles
Solar Icons catalogues Upload under Arrow Actions. It is one of 56 glyphs in that category and one of 1,246 icons in the library overall, each drawn on the same 24x24 grid so Upload lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "upload", and every style variant resolves from that single name.
Semantically the glyph carries pushing a file to a server. That places Upload in the Arrow Actions family, which covers actions expressed as motion — undo, refresh, transfer, sort and turns up in toolbars, data tables, sync indicators and file transfer dialogs. Teams building dashboards and admin panels where every row has an action reach for this set first. Use Upload 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.
Upload in 6 styles
Upload 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.

Because each export is a separate binding, unused variants are dropped by the bundler. Import UploadBold from the "@rchernando/solar-icons/arrow-actions" 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 upload live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.

import { provideSolarIcons } from '@rchernando/solar-icons';
import { UploadBold } from '@rchernando/solar-icons/arrow-actions';

Icons drawn alongside it in Arrow Actions include Export, Minimize, Square Bottom Up, Arrow To Down Left, Login, Minimize Square3, Undo Left Round and Circle Top Down. They share stroke weight and corner radius with Upload, so mixing them in one toolbar stays consistent.

If Upload is not quite the shape you want, Cloud Upload, Upload Minimalistic, Upload Square, Upload Track and Upload Track2 share part of its name and often work as substitutes.
Elsewhere in the library
In other corners of the library, Structure, Planet, Ghost, Call Dropped Rounded, Ticket Sale and Refresh Circle cover neighbouring ideas; the name "upload" is 6 characters long and splits into 1 token, which is how the explorer's search matches it.
Upload icon FAQ
- How do I use the upload icon in Angular?
- Import UploadBold from "@rchernando/solar-icons/arrow-actions", register it with provideSolarIcons(UploadBold) and render <solar-icon name="upload" iconStyle="bold" />. No HTTP request is made — the SVG is inlined at build time.
- Which styles does Upload 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 upload?
- Yes. The size input accepts any CSS length and the SVG uses currentColor, so Upload inherits the text colour of its container — a Tailwind class such as text-violet-400 is enough.
