Icon (noun) 1. A usually pictorial representation.
Icons are very useful in guiding your audience around a website. They are like little summaries for what’s head. I guess that is why I like them so much. Today, I got some insight on a gold mine. FindIcon.com is by far one of the largest icon sites I have seen. But what I really like is… their free.
MORE ABOUT FINDICON.COM
What is FindIcons.com?
As its name suggests, FindIcons.com is an icon search engine helps you find free icons. It has a largest searchable free icons database in the world (Who has more icons than us? Let us know) and a sophisticated search filtering and result matching system both make it possible for you to get an icon you need in every design tasks.
What we do and why we created this service?
We built this service from scratch, the icon database, the backend codes, the frontend design and even the mascots. There were some existing icon search engines out there but many times I had to turn to Google Images to look for an icon. I also hate to see the false advertisement on a peer’s website which claims 150,000+ icons but actually has no more than 100,000 ones in database (Yes, we have 90% of the 400+ icon packs on that site so we know the correct number). Maybe I’m picky in this regard, but that’s one of the reason I create FindIcons.com
Why FindIcons.com is better than other peers?
Like what I mentioned above, FindIcons.com has a largest free icon collection, a better search filtering & matching system and more output options. Also, we track every search query and manually adjust search results according to average ratings to the search results by all users. And we also noticed search is only the first step, it was still inconvenient to categorize every icon you found. So we created a handy User Set tool to allow you group frequently used icons in your personal Favorites box which can be accessed 24/7 from anywhere. Now, you will have an alternative option other than having to put favorite icons into folders in your hard drive.
