We know we can always count on the Internet for free quality icons, but that being said, free icons sometimes might have it’s limitation too. Here’s few we can quickly think of:

  • Copyright. Most free icons restricts usage on non-commercial product/website only.
  • Size. Don’t you just hate it when you found your favorite icon but it’s only a 32×32 and you wish they have a bigger version?
  • Colors. You found the exact icon you want, but the color is just not right.
  • Transparency. Some author did not distribute their free icon in .PNG or original source. That makes it hard to implement their icons on our design.
