If you're looking for icons, png images, graphics, and illustrations to use for a design or video animation and want to keep yourself out of copyright restrictions, you need to locate websites that explicitly define the copyright for each of their images. There are two types of license you're likely to find on most of the sites:

• 1. Creative Commons Zero (CC0): you can use the icons in any scope you want without any attribution.
• 2. Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY): allows you to distribute and re-use the icons, illustrations, as long as you follow the license condition. One condition is attribution, which means that you have to make sure that the original author is appropriately credited.

Below you will find the top free icons websites where you can get free icons, png images, graphics, and illustrations for all your visual projects. Most of them are free! *HOWEVER, you must check to see:

• • what license the icons are released under and how that means they can be used (creative commons [of which there are several types] vs. public domain vs. that website's own standard free license);
• • if you need to buy an extended license for commercial purposes;
• • if you need to credit the original artist with a backlink or something else;
• • what you can and can't use the icons, illustrations for (e.g., not able to be used for a gambling site or something).
