Hi, this is Dmitry from RideTheFortune.com and in this video in you'll learn how to easily
find free high resolution icons for your website, mobile application or desktop. Every web designer
or developer will tell you how useful icons are to increase the authentic look of a site
or application and draw visitor attention to important elements. Icons can be used in
a number of ways: as part of the logo, icon for mobile or desktop application or highlight
important area on the page, illustrate concept, represent person or simply be used as a picture
adding an interesting touch to the overall appearance of a site. High-quality icons create
professional look and make content more attractive for the readers to follow. However, hiring
a professional graphic designer to make icons seems quite an expensive way of incorporating
these important elements. Luckily for us Internet is a great place if you know where to look.
One of such places is IconFinder; based on a search engine format, IconFinder is a great
place to start your search for high quality icons. At the time of making this video there
are well over 200K icons for you to explore. You can search icons by keyword or browse
icon sets. Most icons are provided under Creative Commons license and are free for personal
and commercial use. Even though majority of icons listed on IconFinder allow commercial
use of their icons please make sure you check licensing requirements as some of the icons
may require recognition of the author aka link to their website or be allowed for non-commercial
use only. You can download icons in PNG and ICO formats all the way up to 1024*1024 pixels
for super sharp look even on high resolution retina displays but most of the icons at the
moment are based around 128*128 pixels and 256*256 pixels. So now if you need great icons
for your website, you know where to find them.
