Free Icons (svg or png) and royalty-free vector images to use in your web projects

Looking for quality pictograms to illustrate a web page, application, PowerPoint presentation or sales brochure? Many websites offer icons for free download in JPG, PNG, GIF, EPS, PSD or SVG format. As icons are images composed of relatively simple shapes, vector formats are much better suited to this type of illustration.

A vector image in SVG (acronym for Scalable Vector Graphics) format is lightweight and guarantees good loading speed for web use. It also offers the advantage of being able to adapt to any size, without any loss of quality. Documents intended for printing (poster, sales brochure, flyer) tend to use EPS (acronym for Encapsulated PostScript) files, an older vector format, certainly, but a true standard in the printing world.

So it's important to identify your needs before choosing an image format.
