# arrow-up icon Arrow up. Gentleface icon, drawn on the 16 px pixel grid. Free, MIT licensed. Page: https://gentleface.com/icons/arrow-up - Category: Arrows - Use it for: up, move up, scroll to top, upward, north, move item up, back to top - Tags: arrow, direction, up, north - Family: arrow-down, 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-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: ArrowUpIcon - Added: 2026-10-14 ## Alternatives - `chevron-up`: a lighter direction cue inside a control, e.g. a stepper; the arrow is the explicit direction - `arrow-up-to-line`: move the item all the way to the top (move-to-top) - `bring-forward`: one step forward in the z-order of a canvas, not in a list (bring-forward) - `chevrons-up`: scroll one page up (page-up) ## Don't confuse with - `chevron-up`: chevron-up collapses a section; it does not move an item ## Also fits - move to top: one position up (move-up) - jump to top: a floating back-to-top button on a web page (scroll-to-top) - page up: one step or one item up (up) ## Not for - parent level (use `corner-right-up`): a plain up arrow is a direction or move-up; it does not say go to the parent - caps lock (use `caps-lock`): move up or scroll to top (move-up) - shift key (use `shift`): move up or scroll to top (move-up) ## 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-up.svg · PNG https://gentleface.com/png/line-round/16/arrow-up.png · https://gentleface.com/png/line-round/32/arrow-up.png · https://gentleface.com/png/line-round/48/arrow-up.png - line-soft: https://gentleface.com/svg/line-soft/16/arrow-up.svg · PNG https://gentleface.com/png/line-soft/16/arrow-up.png · https://gentleface.com/png/line-soft/32/arrow-up.png · https://gentleface.com/png/line-soft/48/arrow-up.png - line-sharp: https://gentleface.com/svg/line-sharp/16/arrow-up.svg · PNG https://gentleface.com/png/line-sharp/16/arrow-up.png · https://gentleface.com/png/line-sharp/32/arrow-up.png · https://gentleface.com/png/line-sharp/48/arrow-up.png - solid-round: https://gentleface.com/svg/solid-round/16/arrow-up.svg · PNG https://gentleface.com/png/solid-round/16/arrow-up.png · https://gentleface.com/png/solid-round/32/arrow-up.png · https://gentleface.com/png/solid-round/48/arrow-up.png - solid-soft: https://gentleface.com/svg/solid-soft/16/arrow-up.svg · PNG https://gentleface.com/png/solid-soft/16/arrow-up.png · https://gentleface.com/png/solid-soft/32/arrow-up.png · https://gentleface.com/png/solid-soft/48/arrow-up.png - solid-sharp: https://gentleface.com/svg/solid-sharp/16/arrow-up.svg · PNG https://gentleface.com/png/solid-sharp/16/arrow-up.png · https://gentleface.com/png/solid-sharp/32/arrow-up.png · https://gentleface.com/png/solid-sharp/48/arrow-up.png The SVG of every style: https://gentleface.com/icons/arrow-up.json (`svg`). ## Code (line-round) The snippets are decorative (aria-hidden).
