Free design resources like icons are always valuable for marketers, bloggers, companies or entrepreneurs. If you work on a website with a free theme probably you don’t have access to any icons at all. Icons are useful, practical, and can amplify your marketing message immediately using the minimum of space.

Icons are being used everywhere on the web. Applications, dashboards, chatting, menus, call to action buttons…you name it. Today I am bringing you a list of modern icons that are free for download. In some cases, you have to attribute the creator following their guidelines. But you don’t have to pay a dime for them.

I promise to renew this list very regularly so feel free to bookmark the page for future reference.
