Image sizes: 256x256, 48x48, 32x32, 24x24, 16x16 File formats: BMP, GIF, PNG, ICO ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Have you considered using stock icons?There is surely no dearth of websites that offer stock icons; however, people often try to analyze if including these stock icons will prove advantageous to their web designs and software programs; so, here is some information on how you can benefit by using stock icons.If you are a web designer or writing a program, you must have a fair idea about how graphics are often the first impression creators; they can change your software or website from being only functional to one that is is professional, easy to use and attractive. However, making your personal graphics is anything but easy and of course time consuming. If you get in touch with a web graphics designer, you will have to dole out an exorbitant amount for the icon collection. On the contrary, you will be able to procure the very same quality from icon collections sold over the internet for a relatively low cost. A library of stock icons usually has 100 or more images, provided in different image formats that are perfect for representing the functions common to several websites and software programs; for example, help, copy, paste, lock etc. If you don't buy graphics that suit your requirements, you can simply contact one of these online establishments and request them to design a custom icon for you; this is by far the most suitable option; to state it factually, the original graphics artist will have the experience to maintain some degree of similarity throughout the series of images associated with a particular theme. The second question that a majority of people wonder about is whether they should opt for the commercial images or pick free collections, so here is some insight on the advantages of commercial stock icons as compared to the free pictures: Cost: The price of an collection of graphics can be in the range of $100 and above based on the number of images. However, free images will normally have copyright concerns and/or you will need to include accreditations when they are put to use on your site. Size: Good quality con sets can be bought in a myriad of pixels, so although you pay for a singular image, you should get them in several sizes such as 16x16, 24x24 etc; you can also purchase them in different states such as disabled, hot etc. However; free images can only be downloaded in a singular state and size License: You may have to face some concerns with the free license; you will not have the liberty to alter the images in any sense nor will you have a free hand to utilize them as many times as you want but with professional icon collections, you can utilize the stock icons as many times and in any project as you deem fit. Utility: Good icon libraries will usually feature enough images to cover all your application and web designing requirements but with free graphics even if you were to manage to get good quality images, they are far and few between this would mean that you may find it very hard to make use of these graphics when designing applications or websites. ![]()
