File Icon Images
A collection of file type/extension SVG icons, available free for use in your applications.
- Please post feedback or issues.

- 💡 If you have an idea, such as new icon requests, additional collections/designs, and/or are willing to contribute a library/design, please let me know! My time is limited, but I will get to it eventually.
- ⭐️ If you use these icons to create something cool, tell me about it!

Icon Sets
Currently, there are three icon sets in the dist/icons directory:
- Classic - An expansion of the Redboot free-file-icons designs.
- Vivid - Inspired by Erlen Masson
- Square Outline (in progress) - Modified from and inspired by Cotne Nazarashvili
Next release:
- Over 500 new icons
- A new set for dark backgrounds (preview)
- CDNJS hosting
Once that is released, I'd like to focus on a webfont, ideally where you can create your own file icons with stacking, just like Font Awesome.
Installation
NPM
npm install file-icon-vectors
Bower
bower install file-icon-vectors
🚨 NB! Because I didn't use semver, the current release is not available from Bower. It will be corrected with the next release.
Composer
composer require dmhendricks/file-icon-vectors
(I know, it doesn't below on Packagist, but 15% of my downloads are coming from there, so some people must prefer it.)
Quick Start
To display a file icon, simply link to one or all of the icon set CSS files in the css directory:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="dist/file-icon-classic.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="dist/file-icon-square-o.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="dist/file-icon-vivid.min.css" />
<!-- Alternatively, you can load all sets: -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="dist/file-icon-vectors.min.css" />
CDN: jsDelivr
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/file-icon-classic.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/file-icon-square-o.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/file-icon-vivid.min.css" />
<!-- Alternatively, you can load all sets: -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/file-icon-vectors.min.css" />
Combining Files
jsDelivr allows you to combine multiple files. Below is an example of linking both the Vivid and Square Outline sets with one URI:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/combine/npm/[email protected]/dist/file-icon-vivid.min.css,npm/[email protected]/dist/file-icon-square-o.min.css" />
This will become more beneficial with future releases that contain supplementary packs, web fonts, etc.
CDN: unpkg
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/file-icon-classic.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/file-icon-square-o.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/file-icon-vivid.min.css" />
<!-- Alternatively, you can load all sets: -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/file-icon-vectors.min.css" />
CDN: GitHack
Supports branches as endpoints (such as master).
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://rawcdn.githack.com/dmhendricks/file-icon-vectors/master/dist/file-icon-classic.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://rawcdn.githack.com/dmhendricks/file-icon-vectors/master/dist/file-icon-square-o.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://rawcdn.githack.com/dmhendricks/file-icon-vectors/master/dist/file-icon-vivid.min.css" />
<!-- Alternatively, you can load all sets: -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://rawcdn.githack.com/dmhendricks/file-icon-vectors/master/dist/file-icon-vectors.min.css" />
WordPress
If you're using WordPress, you can load the icons by adding the following line to your theme's functions.php file:
wp_enqueue_style( 'file-icon-vectors', 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/file-icon-vectors.min.css', null, null );
Usage
Each set has its own CSS prefix:
-
cla- Classic -
viv- Vivid -
sqo- Square Outline
The format for CSS classes is fiv-[prefix]-[extension]:
<span class="fiv-cla fiv-icon-ppt"></span>
<span class="fiv-cla fiv-icon-xls"></span>
<span class="fiv-viv fiv-icon-pdf"></span>
<span class="fiv-viv fiv-icon-wav"></span>
<span class="fiv-sqo fiv-icon-doc"></span>
If you want to override the size of the icons, you can do so with CSS:
<style>
.fiv-cla, .fiv-viv, .fiv-sqo { font-size: 3em; }
</style>
Alternatively, you may also use .fiv-size-md, .fiv-size-lg and .fiv-size-xl to modify the icon sizes:
<span class="fiv-viv fiv-icon-pdf fiv-size-lg"></span>
Catalog JSON
Each icon set has a catalog.json file that includes all icons included in the library. You can optionally use this to check for files that exist, and where missing, set an alternate icon.
For example, fileicons.org reads this file to dynamically create the icon lists for both release and development versions.
Generic icons include blank.svg, folder.svg, image.svg.
🚨 BREAKING CHANGE: I will be removing the generic folder.svg from each collection in favor of the upcoming "Extra" set. Follow this repo if you'd like to be notified when that happens.
