Let's face it, most of us don't create every single image and icon when we do web design. It is not because we can't but merely because we've got better options. Kudos to many designers and their generosity, there are in fact a lot of really nice creative common images and icons on the Internet we can take advantage. All we need to know is – where to find them.
In this post, we want to bring to your attention some of the really great search engines that will come in handy when it comes to image and icon search. Full list after jump!
We know we can always count on the Internet for free quality icons, but that being said, free icons sometimes might have it's limitation too. Here's few we can quickly think of:
Copyright. Most free icons restricts usage on non-commercial product/website only.
Size. Don't you just hate it when you found your favorite
icon but it's only a 32×32 and you wish they have a bigger version?
Colors. You found the exact
icon you want, but the color is just not right.
Transparency. Some author did not distribute their free
icon in .PNG or original source. That makes it hard to implement their icons on our design.

readers Kavi.
Kavi himself solved this problem and sent sent us the fix before we started working on the problem. So today I am going to share this fix with you. Thanks Kavi ! Read more…
