About this icon
Use the File icon
The File icon (Boxicons) is categorized under Files. Its bold style is optimal for interface components and product UI and scales cleanly from 16px to 512px.
Use the IconStash detail panel to preview with a custom background, adjust stroke width, and generate production-ready SVG or PNG files without any external tools.
Export formats
Copy clean SVG vectors with one click, generate custom-size PNG files from 16px to 512px, export JSX/React components ready to paste into your project, or use the icon as a CSS background-mask for flexible theming.
All exports are based on the same editable vector — so the File icon stays pixel-perfect at 16px, 24px, 48px, and any large marketing size.
Design & UX integration
Aesthetic characteristics
Boxicons gives File a slightly chunkier, more rounded treatment than most outline sets, and ships Regular, Solid and Logos variants. The Logos subset — brand marks redrawn to match the UI icons — makes it a practical single-dependency choice for marketing sites.
UX best practices
In file explorers, document lists and CMS dashboards, put the File icon immediately to the left of the filename so the eye scans one straight line. If it triggers a destructive action, keep a confirmation step — a delete or archive glyph is too easy to hit by accident in a dense list.
Use in your project
React / npm — Boxicons
npm install react-icons
import { BxFile } from 'react-icons/bx';
// JSX usage:
<BxFile size={24} />Copy the SVG markup directly from the IconStash editor to use the File icon without any npm package — paste it into HTML, JSX, or a design tool.
