External Link icon
A box with an arrow leaving it, for links that open in a new tab or another site.
About the external link icon
External Link is one of 41 icons in Arrows, drawn next to collapse and repeat. The Line styles draw it with 3 shapes at a 1.5px stroke. It is an open drawing, so the Solid styles keep the same lines at 2px instead of filling them. Rounded has soft corners and round line ends, Sharp has square ones, and all four line up on the same 24px grid, so switching style never moves anything.
It is one of the 200 free icons, so you can use it in personal and client work at no cost. Copy it above, download the file, or get it from the free React package.
