Free icons and symbols resource


Icons overall are very special in a certain way because a good icon or symbol must display some kind of information in usually a very tiny space. Therefore it’s not so easy to create an icon that would express something in form of a comprehensible symbol and it can consume some time to make or find a specific symbol or icon.

IconLet.com looks like an average search engine too simple to be even interesting in any way but its simple interface only supports the clarity of this service. It lets you search for icons. But that’s not all. You can choose whether you want to search for png or gif image types.

IconLet also provides an Advanced search where you can choose icon resolutions from a long list of standard sizes and the license under which you want the symbol to be found. Only free/GNU/CC licenses are supported (so that you don’t have to worry about the rights so much).

When you finally click that search button you get the results in order ranging from the smallest resolution to the largest instead of some mess. Finally, if you’re not looking for anything specific, it’s also possible to only browse all available icons from the archive in accordance with their size (10×10 – 176×88), file format and license. Though, the archive isn’t that big yet so that you can get “No results found” from time to time, especially when you don’t manage to describe what you’re looking for properly.
