About the Open Folder black outline icon
This icon shows a paper file folder drawn from a three-quarter angle: a tabbed back panel stands upright while the front pocket tilts forward, signalling that the folder is open and its contents are accessible. It reads instantly as stored documents, directories and archives, which makes it useful for desktop file managers, cloud storage dashboards, email attachment menus, project management boards and office presentation slides about record keeping.
The composition is wide and horizontal, with the slanted front panel creating a sense of depth against the flat rear tab. Uniform stroke weight keeps every edge legible. Pair it with closed folder, document, upload and search icons for a consistent file toolbar, and keep it at 24 px or larger so the tab notch stays visible.
This is the black outline version of the open folder icon: even, monoline strokes that stay crisp at small sizes and suit clean, minimal interfaces, wireframes and light backgrounds.
It downloads free as an SVG vector or transparent PNG in seven sizes, and the free online editor lets you recolor it, apply gold, silver, neon and gradient styles, add animation, or convert it to EPS, PDF and DXF.
