# arrow-down icon Arrow down. Gentleface icon, drawn on the 16 px pixel grid. Free, MIT licensed. Page: https://gentleface.com/icons/arrow-down - Category: Arrows - Use it for: down, move down, scroll to bottom, downward, south, move item down, jump to latest, scroll to latest - Tags: arrow, direction, down, south - Family: arrow-down-left, arrow-down-right, arrow-down-to-line, arrow-left, arrow-left-right, arrow-left-to-line, arrow-right, arrow-right-to-line, arrow-up, arrow-up-down, arrow-up-left, arrow-up-right, arrow-up-to-line, corner-down-left, corner-down-right, corner-right-up, external-link, fit-height, fit-screen, fit-width, move, move-horizontal, move-vertical, redo, refresh, shrink, undo - Component name: ArrowDownIcon - Added: 2026-10-14 ## Alternatives - `chevron-down`: a lighter direction cue inside a control, e.g. a stepper or a disclosure; the arrow is the explicit direction - `arrow-down-to-line`: move the item all the way to the bottom (move-to-bottom) - `send-backward`: one step back in the z-order of a canvas, not in a list (send-backward) - `chevrons-down`: scroll one page down (page-down) ## Don't confuse with - `chevron-down`: chevron-down expands a section; it does not move an item ## Also fits - move to bottom: one position down (move-down) - jump to bottom: a floating scroll-to-latest button in a chat (scroll-to-bottom) - page down: one step or one item down (down) ## Not for - sort alphabetical (use `arrow-down-a-z`): a bare arrow means move or scroll down; arrow-down never means sort - download (use `download`): a bare arrow means move or scroll down; download needs the tray ## Files Each SVG is 16 × 16 with fill="currentColor". Keep it at 16 px or an exact multiple (32, 48) on whole pixels: a fractional size or position blurs it. - line-round: https://gentleface.com/svg/line-round/16/arrow-down.svg · PNG https://gentleface.com/png/line-round/16/arrow-down.png · https://gentleface.com/png/line-round/32/arrow-down.png · https://gentleface.com/png/line-round/48/arrow-down.png - line-soft: https://gentleface.com/svg/line-soft/16/arrow-down.svg · PNG https://gentleface.com/png/line-soft/16/arrow-down.png · https://gentleface.com/png/line-soft/32/arrow-down.png · https://gentleface.com/png/line-soft/48/arrow-down.png - line-sharp: https://gentleface.com/svg/line-sharp/16/arrow-down.svg · PNG https://gentleface.com/png/line-sharp/16/arrow-down.png · https://gentleface.com/png/line-sharp/32/arrow-down.png · https://gentleface.com/png/line-sharp/48/arrow-down.png - solid-round: https://gentleface.com/svg/solid-round/16/arrow-down.svg · PNG https://gentleface.com/png/solid-round/16/arrow-down.png · https://gentleface.com/png/solid-round/32/arrow-down.png · https://gentleface.com/png/solid-round/48/arrow-down.png - solid-soft: https://gentleface.com/svg/solid-soft/16/arrow-down.svg · PNG https://gentleface.com/png/solid-soft/16/arrow-down.png · https://gentleface.com/png/solid-soft/32/arrow-down.png · https://gentleface.com/png/solid-soft/48/arrow-down.png - solid-sharp: https://gentleface.com/svg/solid-sharp/16/arrow-down.svg · PNG https://gentleface.com/png/solid-sharp/16/arrow-down.png · https://gentleface.com/png/solid-sharp/32/arrow-down.png · https://gentleface.com/png/solid-sharp/48/arrow-down.png The SVG of every style: https://gentleface.com/icons/arrow-down.json (`svg`). ## Code (line-round) The snippets are decorative (aria-hidden).
