As a web and application developer I need icons on my every project. Icons are copyrighted assets like images. I prefer to use kind of public domain graphics which are completely free for commercial purposes.
From where we can get completely free icons for web and graphic design?
Here are the 5 best websites to get icons for your graphic design projects.
Fontello
This is my 1st choice because of its large collection of fonts and customization options. At fontello you can get icons as a web fonts which is really great for web developers. They offer API for developers to integrate their application on any other web / mobile application.

Flaticon
Flaticon has the largest collection of vector icons online. It had a nice tool to select icon, edit icon size and colour. You must have to credit the authorship of their designs in your website/application if you download as free. This website also provides each design in different format – PNG, SVG, EPS, BASE 64, PSD.
